Episode Details

If you are in the local market I do hope you will be joining us at the Saval Foodservice 90th anniversary celebration this Monday at Maryland Live Casino & Resort.  I’ll be there doing what I do best… talking.    

Avian flu has now been detected in 17 states with over 13 million birds removed from the food chain.  That doubles last week’s 6 million birds which doubled the prior week’s 3 million birds.  This is not an encouraging trend.  The first impact you will see is the move up in shell egg pricing.  Typically we see increases heading into Easter but nothing like this.  Pricing will be up 40-50% next week and we still have a three weeks to the holiday.  Looking at chicken and breasts have held steady a couple weeks but pricing will be moving higher again.  Tenders will follow the similar course of breasts.  Wings lower again.  Seems to be plenty of wings available.
