Butterball Turkeys Face Boycott Amid Abuse Allegations and Price Drop

Butterball turkeys are being sold at Walmart for as low as $0.25 per pound, possibly due to a resurfaced PETA video alleging past animal abuse at the company. Despite the video's age and Butterball's current American Humane certification, it has stirred online discussions and may be influencing consumer behavior. However, the decline in turkey sales aligns with a long-term trend, and demand is shifting towards smaller turkey cuts. Butterball and PETA have both issued statements regarding the video's impact and the company's animal welfare practices.

"Turkey Prices Plummet as Deadly Bird Flu Threatens Industry"

Turkey prices have been low due to an expected bird flu outbreak that didn't materialize, leading to increased turkey supplies. However, an uptick in bird flu cases is now hitting turkey farms hard, potentially tightening supply and causing price hikes in the spring. While egg supplies have bounced back, with prices declining, the bird flu continues to threaten poultry flocks, particularly turkeys. The fall migratory season will determine the trajectory of the virus this year. Although bird losses are smaller compared to last year, regional losses could still cause spot shortages and pricing volatility. Unlike eggs, turkey isn't a kitchen staple, so higher prices may lead consumers to skip turkey sandwiches.

Thanksgiving Costs Fluctuate: Turkey Prices Drop, but Overall Expenses Remain Steady

Despite food inflation easing, economists warn that Thanksgiving won't be significantly cheaper this year. While turkey prices have dropped by about 13%, other items accompanying the meal, especially canned goods, have become more expensive. Canned cranberries are up nearly 60% compared to last year, and canned green beans are up almost 9%. Although fresh fruits and vegetables have seen a smaller increase in prices, overall, shoppers shouldn't expect substantial savings for their Thanksgiving feast.
