Texas Families to Receive 7 Million Free Eggs Following Major Antitrust Settlement
· Texas Border Business
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has reached settlements with three major egg producers, resulting in over 7 million eggs being donated to food banks across Texas. This action addresses antitrust claims from 17 state attorneys general regarding a conspiracy to inflate egg prices from 2022 to 2025. The companies involved, Cal-Maine Foods, Centrum/Versova, and Hickman’s Egg Ranch, will also pay $3.3 million to the states. The Attorney General's office will oversee the distribution of the eggs to food banks. This initiative is part of a broader effort to protect consumers from price manipulation in the agricultural sector.
