SUMMARY: Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., a leading egg producer in the U.S., has been convicted of conspiring to inflate egg prices from 1998 to 2008, according to a jury verdict in the case Kraft Foods Global, Inc. v. United Egg Producers, Inc. The Mississippi company challenged parts of the claim, succeeding on several issues which they argue should define the case. With a flock of roughly 42.2 million chickens, Cal-Maine stands as the nation’s biggest egg supplier. Despite the verdict, Cal-Maine intends to dispute the presented damages and explore appeal options. The damages trial is set for the end of November 2023.
