    25 (Sputnik) -- According to Bloomberg, Britain is falling into an "egg shortage", with egg shelves in some supermarkets empty
    .
     
    Outbreaks of bird flu in the United States and Europe have led to the culling
    of large numbers of poultry.
    As a result, egg prices in October were the highest
    for U.

    food inflation.
    The Hungarian government has implemented a policy of egg price limit

    .
    In addition, eggs are usually more in demand in winter, especially during the Christmas season
    .

    Phil Crowley, vice-chairman of the National Farmers Union's poultry committee, told Bloomberg: "We're not producing small parts
    on beer cans.
    We have a herd of live animals that bring green products

    The hen will bring what
    it can bring.
