North Carolina Attorney General Jackson Secures Settlement Delivering Millions of Eggs to Food Banks After Antitrust Case

North Carolina Attorney General Jackson Secures Settlement Delivering Millions of Eggs to Food Banks After Antitrust Case

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson, alongside 16 other bipartisan attorneys general and the U.S. Department of Justice, has reached a settlement with three major egg producers: Cal-Maine, Hickman’s Family Farms, and Versova. The settlement addresses allegations that these companies violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by colluding from 2022 to 2025 to share information and coordinate bidding. This alleged coordination manipulated a key industry benchmark, leading to artificially inflated egg prices. As a result of this settlement, approximately 50 million eggs will be distributed to food banks across the United States. In North Carolina specifically, three million eggs are being distributed statewide, with nearly 2.5 million already delivered. The Food Bank of the Albemarle in Elizabeth City recently received nearly 300,000 eggs as part of this initiative. Attorney General Jackson emphasized that the settlement holds these companies accountable and provides much-needed protein to North Carolinians.

Congressman Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ-02) has renewed his call for the resignation of the entire New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) following a federal audit of Atlantic City Electric (ACE). The audit identified five areas of financial noncompliance, including overbilling customers and errors related to federal tax law. Van Drew stated that for years, residents of South Jersey have complained about high electricity costs, and the audit confirms these concerns. He emphasized that the overbilled costs, particularly at the transmission level, are passed directly to ratepayers, and affected families deserve immediate refunds. Van Drew had previously sent letters to ACE and NJBPU demanding a full accounting of the financial issues and refunds for overcharged ratepayers. He criticized the NJBPU for approving continuous rate increases without adequately scrutinizing ACE's financial practices, asserting that the board failed in its duty to protect the public.
