U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins was present at the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll, an event held on the South Lawn alongside American egg producers. During the event, Secretary Rollins highlighted the challenges faced by the egg industry due to the avian flu outbreak.
"The White House Easter Egg Roll is the yearly Super Bowl for eggs! Egg farmers and consumers were hit hard by the negative impacts of the bird flu this past year, but, thankfully under President Trump’s leadership, our five-point plan to combat avian flu and lower egg prices is working. Going into Easter weekend, wholesale egg prices are down 56 percent! This historic event is a great opportunity to celebrate this progress alongside America’s hard working egg farmers," Rollins stated.
At the event, Secretary Rollins participated as a featured reader at the Reading Nook and joined in the traditional egg roll activities. Her ongoing efforts have been geared towards supporting American poultry and egg producers, dealing with the avian flu crisis, and reducing the cost of eggs for consumers. In February, Rollins unveiled a five-point plan which has gained the approval of both agriculture and government leaders. Since the plan's announcement, egg prices have decreased significantly—from $8.53 per dozen to $3.72 per dozen as of Easter weekend.
