Chicken Reaches Americans' Tables at Cheapest Prices in a Decade
This article is for subscribers only.
America’s favorite meat is the cheapest it’s been in at least 12 years.
In the U.S., the average retail price for chicken breast fell to $3.073 a pound in January, the lowest since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began collecting the data in 2006. Costs have been falling since 2013 thanks to a boom in grain supplies that’s made it cheaper to feed birds and helped increase production.
