Colorado Grocery Stores Turn to Grade B Eggs Amidst Ongoing Egg Shortage

Colorado’s egg farmers are working to recover from a devastating bird flu outbreak that has sent egg prices soaring and left shelves emptier than usual. With production expected to reach 60% by July, grocery stores are getting creative to meet demand, including turning to Grade B eggs—an uncommon sight in retail stores.

Most eggs found in grocery aisles are Grade A or AA, which are known for their firmer whites, rounder yolks, and flawless shells. Grade B eggs, on the other hand, have thinner whites, flatter yolks, and may have minor imperfections. While they are typically used in processed egg products like liquid or powdered eggs, some retailers are now stocking them as a more affordable alternative for budget-conscious shoppers.

According to nutrition experts, Grade B eggs offer nearly the same nutritional value as higher-graded eggs, making them a great option for dishes like scrambles and breakfast casseroles. “Small differences in nutritional value, not enough to even mention. It’s really the appeal of the egg,” said Jennifer Bolton, a nutrition professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

However, not all eggs labeled as Grade B are actually of lower quality. Some King Soopers stores in the Denver metro area are repackaging undamaged Grade A or AA eggs into Grade B cartons as a way to reduce food waste while offering consumers a lower price. “The undamaged eggs are the same quality as Grade A eggs; they are simply repackaged,” said a King Soopers spokesperson.

As egg production stabilizes and prices continue to drop—falling to a national average of $4.15 per dozen for the third consecutive week—shoppers looking to save money may find Grade B eggs to be an unexpected yet worthwhile option.
