Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, along with a bipartisan multistate coalition and the U.S. Department of Justice, settled with Cal-Maine Foods, Versova/Centrum, and Hickman's Egg Ranch for colluding to manipulate egg prices. The companies secretly coordinated bidding activity to influence the Urner Barry price index, artificially inflating egg prices for consumers and retailers nationwide. The settlement requires the companies to pay $3.3 million, donate 53 million eggs to food banks, and implement compliance measures.
