DOJ to investigate poultry price-fixing allegations

The U.S. Justice Department has opened an investigation into allegations that four of the major U.S. poultry processors conspired to fix prices.

The processors, including Tyson Foods, Pilgrim’s Pride, and Sanderson Farms, allegedly increased the prices of broiler chickens.

The processors have denied the accusations.

The DOJ asked the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to halt the discovery process for six months as it pursues a criminal investigation.
