Lotte Super to Offer Limited Sale of Fresh U.S. Eggs... 30-Pack for 5,990 Won

9,300 Trays of White Eggs Secured
Limit of Two Trays per Person at 160 Stores Nationwide

Lotte Super announced on May 21 that it will begin selling “Fresh Eggs from the United States (30 eggs)” starting from May 22.

This product consists of white eggs imported from the United States, which meet the Korean standard for “large eggs.” The selling price is 5,990 won. This is more than 35% cheaper than the average market price for domestically produced eggs of the same size sold at other supermarket chains (SSMs).

Lotte Super has secured approximately 9,300 trays of U.S. fresh eggs imported to Korea and will offer them at a limit of two trays per person in around 160 stores nationwide, including the Beomseo and Jeongja branches.

With domestic egg prices rising due to outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (AI), Lotte Super aims to help stabilize prices and ease consumer burden by introducing this reasonably priced product.

Lee Eunji, Merchandiser (MD) of the Grain and Egg Team at Lotte Mart and Supermarket, stated, “Eggs are one of the most frequently purchased fresh foods by consumers, so we decided to introduce eggs from the United States to help ease the burden on shoppers.”
