McDonald's has filed a federal lawsuit against major beef suppliers, including Cargill, JBS, and Tyson Foods, accusing them of colluding to fix beef prices by limiting the supply of slaughter-ready cattle since 2015. The suit, filed in New York, claims these companies manipulated the market to increase beef prices while paying lower prices for cattle, boosting their profits unfairly. McDonald's points to a drop in slaughter volumes by the accused companies and alleges daily meetings were held to coordinate cattle procurement and sales strategies. This case adds to similar antitrust claims already in court.
