币界网报道:Waffle House has removed its temporary 50-cent egg surcharge as wholesale egg prices dropped nearly 40% from record highs earlier this year. The 24-hour diner chain had implemented the additional fee in January when egg costs surged due to the worst avian flu outbreak in U.S. history. While retail egg prices remain elevated compared to last year, the recent decline in wholesale costs allowed Waffle House to eliminate the surcharge. The company stated it continues monitoring market conditions and will adjust menu pricing accordingly. Industry analysts note food costs remain volatile across the restaurant sector, with many chains still grappling with inflationary pressures.
