Egg prices are nosediving this month, plummeting sharply, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The claim that egg prices are nosediving this month and plummeting sharply according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is largely supported by recent data. Multiple sources confirm a significant recent drop in egg prices. For example, wholesale prices for large cartoned shell eggs in New York fell by about $2.40 per dozen in March, reaching $4.78 per dozen.forbes.comforbes.comEgg Prices Have Dropped Sharply—But There’s More To The Story Retail egg prices also fell by 2.7% in May following a 12.7% decline in April, as reported by the consumer price index.nerdwallet.comnerdwallet.comEgg Prices Are Still Falling. Will It Last? Additionally, a report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics noted that egg prices dropped for the first time in months in April 2025.tradingeconomics.comtradingeconomics.comEggs US - Price - Chart - Historical Data These data points indicate a sharp recent decline consistent with the claim.

However, context is important: egg prices have experienced extreme volatility over the past year, including record highs earlier in 2025 (up to $8.17 per dozen wholesale) and significant inflationary pressures.newsweek.comnewsweek.comEgg Prices Plummet to Nearly Five-Month Low Moreover, some more recent data from mid-July 2025 show egg prices rising again by about 3% over the past month and up nearly 19% year-over-year, indicating that the downward trend may be temporary or part of normal market fluctuations.

The claim specifically references the BLS as the source, which is accurate since BLS data on consumer price indexes reflect these recent declines. However, the phrase "nosediving" or "plummeting sharply" may overstate the magnitude if interpreted as a sustained or dramatic collapse rather than a notable but partial price correction after months of high prices.

In summary, while egg prices have indeed fallen sharply recently according to BLS and USDA data, this is part of a volatile market with prior record highs and some rebound afterward. The claim is mostly true but would benefit from additional context about the broader price trends and volatility.
