Cal-Maine Foods, the largest egg producer in the U.S., said it is cooperating with a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into whether egg producers colluded to unfairly raise prices.
The news comes as egg prices, while down from their all-time highs, are still 60% higher than last year, with wholesale prices at about $3 per dozen, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
