Target Corp. is the latest retailer to accuse some of America’s top chicken producers of constraining poultry production and manipulating prices, according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court.
The Minneapolis-based company with 1,900 stores is the latest to sue the chicken producers, which have been accused of illegal cooperation from as early as 2008 to at least 2017. It follows earlier suits by supermarket chain Fresh Market, Wawa Inc. convenience stores, refrigerated-meal supplier Bob Evans Farms Inc. and Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc. restaurants.
