The combined total was taken from 14 major chicken producers, who were accused of manipulating prices in a 2021 lawsuit, according to a press release from Attorney General Bob Ferguson's office. It asserted that starting in 2008, the companies participated in"a widespread illegal conspiracy to inflate and manipulate prices, rig contract bids, illegally exchange information and coordinate industry supply reductions to maximize profits.
“This is yet another milestone in our case against the companies involved in this conspiracy — but we are not done," he added."They drove up the price of chicken and cheated hardworking Washingtonians.
