SALT LAKE CITY -- It's been nearly four months since the last commercially reported case of bird flu in the United States; yet, prices for eggs continue to remain high throughout the country, and have a trickle-down effect on local restaurants as a result. More than 48 million birds have died from the bird flu since last December, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Those birds came from 15 different states, but Iowa accounted for more than two-thirds of the total birds affected. “We have never ever seen anything impact us like this, and hope we never again,” said Cliff Lillywhite, with Oakdell Eggs. Lillywhite's company helps supply eggs in Utah. Utah has yet to report an incident of bird flu within the commercial industry but Lillywhite said the market price is driven by the overall national market. "One state impacts us all," Lillywhite adds.
