100k Eggs Vanish from Pete and Gerry’s

The CEO of Pete and Gerry’s Eggs has spoken out about the mysterious disappearance of 100k eggs from their facility in Greencastle Pennsylvania shedding light on an incident that has left many in the industry puzzled.

Tom Flocco in an interview emphasized that the theft occurred late at night on February 2 when 8000 cartons worth approximately $40000 were taken from a distribution trailer.

Flocco acknowledged that while thefts do happen in various industries this scale of egg pilfering is unusual. He assured that the company would enhance security measures to prevent future incidents.

The theft comes at a time when egg prices are already high due to an ongoing bird flu outbreak which has tightened supply across the nation. This incident could further strain the market.

Local law enforcement is actively investigating with video surveillance being reviewed though no suspects have been identified yet. The police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Flocco highlighted the logistical challenge for the thieves as eggs need to remain refrigerated to avoid spoilage posing a unique hurdle for whoever took them.

In response to the theft Pete and Gerry’s Eggs plans to not only increase security but also consider measures like better lighting and more cameras around their facilities to safeguard their product.

This case has sparked discussions on food security and supply chain vulnerabilities with implications for how egg producers might need to adapt their security protocols in light of rising egg prices and demand.
