How Meat Companies Ran The Biggest Food Scandal in History
In what is being described as one of the most significant food scandals of the 21st century, America’s largest meat producers are accused of orchestrating a massive price-fixing scheme that has driven up the cost of groceries for millions of consumers. According to a report by Eric Gardner of More Perfect Union, companies like Tyson, Hormel, and Cargill have allegedly been using a little-known technology called Agri Stats to share secret data, manipulate the market, and maximize their profits at the expense of consumers. This scandal, which has far-reaching implications, is now the focus of multiple lawsuits led by state attorneys general, including Keith Ellison of Minnesota.
