About White Large egg prices (national)
The USDA national 5-day weighted average for large white shell eggs, sold loose (not cartoned) and priced free-on-board at the plant, is the number the shell-egg trade quotes. It is reported in cents per dozen. This series began in early 2025, so a five-year normal is not yet available; week-over-week and year-over-year are the reliable reads.
