The plaintiffs allege that Cal-Maine Foods, the largest egg producer in the United States, engaged in anticompetitive behavior that artificially inflated the price of eggs for consumers and businesses. The lawsuit claims that Cal-Maine coordinated or manipulated egg supply and pricing in ways that violated federal antitrust laws, causing buyers to pay more than they should have in a fair, competitive market. The proposed class is expected to include businesses and individuals who purchased eggs directly or indirectly from Cal-Maine or through retailers influenced by the company's alleged pricing schemes during a defined period. Plaintiffs are seeking damages and other relief on behalf of all those who were financially harmed by the alleged price manipulation.
