Episode Synopsis

What goes into the decision to fight — or settle — accusations of price-fixing and collusion? The calculation is different for each company, but the fallout of the antitrust cases filed against meat and poultry processors still rains on the industry, and will do so for years. Meatingplace News Editor Chris Moore joins MeatingPod for the second episode of a deep dive into the raft of antitrust cases filed against processors over the last nine years. In this installment, we tackle the hidden costs of a lawsuit, what the next wave of cases probably will look like, and the bipartisan sentiment that pushes hard against the ongoing consolidation in the processing industry.
