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 the donation of over 7 million eggs to food banks across Texas. This agreement addresses antitrust allegations 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 coordinate the distribution of the eggs, and the companies must implement compliance measures to prevent future violations. This initiative is part of Paxton's efforts to protect consumers from price manipulation.
