The DOJ has launched an investigation into foreign meatpacking companies that supply the US over possible price-fixing.
President Trump in November ordered the Justice Department to launch an investigation into foreign meatpacking companies for driving up the price of beef through “illicit collusion.”
Beef prices are soaring in the US. According to some reports, ground beef and steak prices are up nearly 50% since July 2020.
Last year, Trump asked the DOJ to launch an investigation into meatpacking companies for possible price fixing and manipulation.
“I have asked the DOJ to immediately begin an investigation into the Meat Packing Companies who are driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation,” Trump said.
“We will always protect our American Ranchers, and they are being blamed for what is being done by Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers, who artificially inflate prices, and jeopardize the security of our Nation’s food supply,” he added.
Trump continued, “Action must be taken immediately to protect Consumers, combat Illegal Monopolies, and ensure these Corporations are not criminally profiting at the expense of the American People. I am asking the DOJ to act expeditiously. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Approximately 40% of commercial food is wasted in the United States, which translates to about 66 billion pounds of food waste annually. This waste primarily comes from restaurants, which waste between 4% and 10% of all food purchased, with 15% ending up in landfills. The food industry faces significant challenges in reducing waste, with efforts to recycle and donate food being minimal compared to the overall waste.
Because if the customer gets a mere tummyache they sue the restaraunt.
Do gasoline and home heating oil now.
When it is appropriate I am simply brimming with optimism. It is an opinion board. My opinion is that the track record for improvements in such things as this is pretty dismal. At least the egg prices went down.
I bought a dozen eggs for 77 cents the other day. Still refuse to pay the price for anything but hamburger when it comes to beef though.
That’s why I quit Sam’s. Disgusting. I can only imagine it has something to do with State government requirements...health and safety you know. For people who are too stupid to freeze or cook meat properly.
Yup! We love London broil—haven’t had it for a long time!
” At least the egg prices went down.”
There ya go!.....now was that so hard? 😁
Bet that’s “IMPLICIT” collusion, as opposed to “explicit.”
implicit collusion may mean “we have zero evidence of any actual collusion” but based on our theory of how pricing works, it’s gotta be collusion. Because corporations. because profits.
Bingo.
Heard somebody discussing this once & he said they made more money throwing it out than they did discounting it. That really sounds stupid to me if true (he explained it) but what a senseless waste!
Well, if that meat was kept a short while & got food poisoning.....that is no fun, it makes you really sick & maybe the seller should be open to lawsuit for a dumb stunt like “date of sale expired product”.
I want meat packers investigated for hiring illegal aliens.
