Walmart’s 2025 Easter Meal Kit Excludes Eggs Amid Record Prices and Shortages

The retailer's decision reflects ongoing impacts of the avian flu outbreak, as egg prices hit historic highs and supplies remain constrained.

Walmart's 2025 Easter meal kit, priced at $43, serves eight people and includes nine items such as ham, potatoes, and dinner rolls but omits eggs.
Eggs were excluded from this year's kit due to their high prices and shortages caused by an avian flu outbreak that has decimated poultry flocks since 2022.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts egg prices will decline later in 2025, though not in time for Easter, with current prices averaging $5.90 per dozen as of February.
Walmart has avoided imposing broad in-store purchase limits on eggs, though online purchases of 60-count cartons are capped at six per customer.
The retailer's grocery revenue increased earlier this year, partially attributed to inflation-driven higher egg prices.
