Key Event Details

The company, headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi, emphasizes scale and operational excellence to deliver sustainable protein solutions. Its strategy focuses on innovation and long-term value creation for stakeholders.

Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., Versova, and Hickman's Egg Ranch have agreed to a $3.3 million settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and 17 states' attorneys general to resolve allegations of coordinating to inflate egg prices. The agreement follows a DOJ investigation alleging the companies secretly coordinated from June 2022 through March 2025 to influence a widely used daily egg price benchmark. The settlement, which requires federal court approval, has drawn criticism from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who called the penalties a "mere slap on the wrist" and "shameful" given the scale of the alleged impact on grocery costs.

Under the terms of the proposed agreement, Cal-Maine will pay $1.5 million, Hickman's Egg Ranch will pay $1 million, and Versova will pay $800,000. Additionally, the companies agreed to donate approximately 53 million eggs to food banks and non-profits, with an estimated retail value of roughly $9.7 million. The settlement also requires the companies to adopt antitrust compliance programs and measures aimed at preventing future coordination. None of the companies admitted liability as part of the resolution.

Cal-Maine Foods stated that it believes the claims are "baseless" and maintained that its conduct was lawful. The company emphasized that the communications cited in the complaint, made primarily by a single former employee, did not impact egg prices in any market. Sherman Miller, president and chief executive officer of Cal-Maine Foods, attributed egg price surges to repeated outbreaks of avian influenza, the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, and other market forces. He noted that current wholesale egg prices are at record lows due to recovered supply.

Versova similarly denied wrongdoing, stating that its decision to settle reflects its desire to "put this matter behind us and focus on our business." Mantiqueira USA, which owns Hickman's Egg Ranch, said the alleged conduct predates its acquisition of the company and affirmed its commitment to complying with all applicable laws. The DOJ investigation centered on whether egg producers organized a cooperative to supply cage-free eggs were attempting to manipulate an industry price index by sharing bidding information.
