U.S. antitrust authorities allege several major egg producers coordinated pricing during the 2022-2025 bird flu outbreak, influencing benchmark prices and contributing to high consumer egg prices. Companies like Cal-Maine Foods, Versova, and Hickman’s Egg Ranch are part of a proposed settlement involving financial payments, egg donations to food banks, and revised trading practices.
