Chick-fil-A Files Lawsuit Against 17 Poultry Producers for Price Fixing
(CNN) – Chick-fil-A is suing 17 poultry producers, accusing them of banding together to fix prices and charge more.
The lawsuit includes the country’s Top 3 chicken suppliers – Tyson, Pilgrim’s Pride, and Sanderson Farms.
The fast-food chain says the companies communicated through phone calls and text messages to share confidential bidding and pricing information with one another.
This isn’t the first lawsuit against the poultry industry that alleges anti-competitive conduct.
