  • They can hike prices as much as they want, there is nothing illegal or even wrong (arguably) about that.

    In the US there are exceptions to the charge anything standard, such as limitations on gouging on gas pricing during emergencies and laws against companies colliding on price hikes. The protections kick in when customers don’t have a choice, and it is possible that all egg companies raising prices to seek profits while blaming something that has far less of an effect than the prices indicate could potentially fall into one of those two categories.

    Not that it matters as the penalties are always far less than the abuse, but pricing in the US isn’t a complete wild west.
