Three national restaurant chains are suing major poultry processors including Tyson Foods and Pilgrim’s Pride in two anti-trust lawsuits.
Cracker Barrel, Golden Corral and White Castle filed the suits in the US District Court of Northern Illinois seeking the return of overcharges paid on inflated poultry prices.
They claim the poultry companies agreed to artificially raise the price of chicken, coordinate bids to buyers and restrict the supply of birds sold.
