King Kullen, a supermarket operator, filed a class-action suit in US District Court in Indiana against the largest egg producers and Urner Barry. The suit alleges collusion to inflate egg prices through the Urner Barry benchmark, and it challenges the producers' attribution of price spikes to avian flu.
The suit could affect how egg benchmark prices are set, but it does not change current supply or demand for feed ingredients. Its price impact is likely limited to egg markets.
