In this Legal Insurrection article, William A. Jacobson reports that the DOJ reached a settlement with three major egg producers accused of coordinating prices through a benchmarking service during the bird flu crisis that drove up costs for American consumers.
- Cal-Maine Foods, Versova, and Hickman’s Egg Ranch allegedly manipulated Urner Barry price quotes by submitting aggressive bids, artificially inflating egg prices amid supply shortages from avian flu culls.
- The companies will pay $3.3 million in civil penalties and donate 53 million eggs to food banks, while appointing compliance officers to prevent future coordination.
- Texas AG Ken Paxton emphasized holding corporations accountable for antitrust violations that raised costs for families during a period of high inflation and egg scarcity.
- The settlement follows earlier scrutiny of “Big Egg” practices, questioning whether the crisis was exploited for profit beyond legitimate supply issues.
- Critics argue such collusion highlights vulnerabilities in essential food markets, where pandemic-style disruptions can mask anticompetitive behavior.
- The case serves as a reminder of the need for vigilant oversight to protect consumers from price manipulation during crises.
