USDA Reports Caged Liquid Whole Egg, Yolk Prices Slip

USDA's weekly egg products report shows caged liquid whole egg and yolk weighted average prices declining, with whites now populated but too few to report elsewhere. Frozen and dried egg prices remain too thin to report, with steady undertones and generally light demand and slow-to-moderate market activity across categories.

Why it matters: Caged liquid whole and yolk prices are softening, signaling weaker near-term margins for producers selling into the liquid egg channel.
