The Trump administration is suing egg producers nationwide, accusing them of undertaking a coordinated price manipulation scheme.
The Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division, along with 17 state attorneys general, is suing Cal-Maine Foods, Hickman’s Egg Ranch, Centrum Valley Holdings, Versova Holdings and Versova Management Cooperative, in a civil suit that alleges the companies dropped egg prices "significantly" after the companies learned the DOJ was investigating potential price manipulation.
