Minnesota among states to secure settlement with egg producers for price gouging

Minnesota and 17 other states secured a $3.3 million settlement with three major egg producers—Cal-Maine Foods, Versova/Centrum, and Hickman’s Egg Ranch—accused of colluding to artificially inflate egg prices from June 2022 to March 2025. The companies denied wrongdoing but agreed to provide 53 million eggs at their own expense as part of the settlement.
