JBS agreed to pay $52.5 million to grocers and wholesalers in a class action price-fixing suit in February this year. Last month, three former Pilgrim's executives were found not guilty after an unprecedented third trial from the government, which sought to charge them for artificially inflating prices and sharing pricing information with other producers. And in early 2021, Pilgrim's Pride paid a $108 million fine after pleading guilty to conspiring to fix the price of chicken and pass those costs onto consumers.
