It's another requirement to comply with. More work for the producer == higher cost for the consumer.

But the claim is that the shortage has been made worse by cage free laws. Any higher cost from cage free laws would already have been part of the price.

I'm saying the prices are what's been made worse. But suppliers haven't converted over so that doesn't help the shortage.

When California’s anti animal cruelty measure went into effect the price difference was negligible.

Thus stuff is not related, wild to see people trying to conflate it.
