JD Vance was roundly mocked online over a trip to the supermarket where he bemoaned the steep price of eggs — and botched the photo opp.

The Republican vice presidential nominee stopped by a supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania, with his sons over the weekend to illustrate how grocery prices have been impacted by “Kamala Harris’s policies” when he claimed a dozen eggs cost $4.

The problem? When footage of the visit emerged, Vance was quickly called out by viewers who spotted the price tag of a dozen eggs behind him was actually $2.99.

    US free range and EU free range are not the same by far.

    In the US, free range poultry must:

    • have access to the outdoors for more than 51% of the animal’s life

    In the EU:

    • hens have continuous daytime access to open-air runs throughout their lives
    • the open-air runs to which hens have access are mainly covered with vegetation and not used for other purposes
    • the open-air runs must at least have 4 sqm per hen, with adequate shelter, drinking and feeding facilities

    And that’s in addition to different food safety standards that make most US poultry non-importable to the EU.
