Reuters reports that the indictment alleges that the company fixed prices for chickens for the food service and retail supply chains.

Claxton’s president, Mikell Fries, and vice president, Scott Brady, were previously indicted for their roles in a nationwide conspiracy to fix chicken prices from 2012 to 2019.

Claxton, which is based in Georgia, sells 300 million pounds of chicken annually to 750 customers, including major chains, according to its website.
