Walmart is also excluding ingredients that are typically already found in one’s pantry like salt, pepper, butter and milk, a spokesperson said.
Walmart will be skipping eggs in its Easter meal offer this year, the US retail giant said Wednesday, in the midst of shortages and sky-high prices spiked by the bird flu outbreak among poultry. Walmart ’s Easter 2025 promotion features a meal kit with nine ingredients, including ham, russet potatoes, corn on the cob and a cream cake.
Notably absent from this year’s kit, however, are eggs, which were a key part of last year’s offering.Pentagon's pick of Boeing to build next-generation F-47 fighter jets in $50B deal stuns expertsThat kit served up to 10 people at an average cost of less than $8 per person, the retailer said. “The items in the basket are based on some of the most popular Easter meal items. This year we did not include ingredients that are typically already found in one’s pantry like salt, pepper, butter, milk and eggs,” Tricia Moriarty, a Walmart spokesperson said in an email.

Currently, the only restrictions are on purchases of 60-count cartons to six units per purchase and online only, she added.
