TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Publix shoppers will have a more limited selection when it comes to buying eggs for the near future. According to a Publix spokesperson, the demand for eggs has risen due to shortages caused by the Avian Bird Flu, also known as HPAI.

Bird flu is affecting egg production in Pennsylvania and several other states, causing prices to rise. The big picture: The first bird flu-related human death was confirmed this week in Louisiana. At least 66 human cases have been confirmed in the U.

Experts say the deaths of poultry linked to the avian bird flu have resulted in a shortage of supply to meet the high demands.
