Waffle House announced it will be adding a $0.50 surcharge to all egg items on the menu sold at its more than 2,000 locations because of soaring egg prices caused by the bird flu. The surcharge went into effect Monday.

Those looking to order eggs with their Waffle House meal should now expect to pay a 50-cent surcharge per egg.

The Waffle House has added a temporary surcharge of 50 cent per egg amid rising egg prices from the bird flu outbreak. Why it matters: The disease has ravaged the nation's supply of eggs, leading to egg shortages and increased prices in grocery stores.
