Local H-E-B grocery stores are limiting the amount of egg cartons each customer can buy to three.

The limit applies to all sizes of cartons: a customer could get away with buying three cartons of the largest amount of eggs, but no more. The same applies to smaller cartons as well, an H-E-B manager said.

The limit comes as more than 200 outbreaks of the bird flu virus have been reported among chickens in 20 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. More than 20 million chickens have been infected, with most in Iowa, the Department of Agriculture’s website shows.
