Walmart Omits Eggs in Easter Meal Kit

Walmart's 2025 Easter meal kit notably excludes eggs, a crucial component of previous years' offerings, due to their skyrocketing prices and shortages caused by a widespread bird flu outbreak. This year's kit, priced at under $6 per person, features nine items, including ham and russet potatoes, but omits eggs which were included last year along with ingredients for deviled eggs. The bird flu has led to record egg prices and shortages, pushing some retailers to limit egg purchases and restaurants to increase prices on egg-based items. The U.S. government is considering importing eggs from Brazil and broiler chickens to alleviate the shortage. Despite the egg crisis, Walmart has not imposed broad purchase limits on eggs, which has contributed to a rise in its grocery revenue. The company claims the omission of eggs and other pantry staples in this year's kit is due to their typical availability in households.
