McDonald’s has big beef with its meat distributors. This past Friday, the billion-dollar fast-food chain filed a lawsuit against major meat processing companies, including Cargill, JBS, and Tyson Foods.
The restaurant famous for the Golden Arches and Happy Meals is not too pleased with the meatpackers, alleging the group has “engaged in a contract, combination, or conspiracy” to reduce output since 2015. In doing so, these companies have driven “prices artificially higher than beef prices would have been in the absence of their conspiracy.”
