A settlement has been reached between the U.S. Justice Department, 17 states, and three major egg producers. The agreement resolves allegations of illegal collusion to raise prices.

The egg producers will pay $3.3 million and donate 53 million eggs as part of the settlement. This comes after accusations that the companies worked together to increase prices, including during a period of record highs last year.

Further details about the settlement and allegations are available from the source, KPRC 2 Houston. The settlement brings an end to the claims of price fixing against the egg producers.
