Florida is distributing 5.67 million free Grade A eggs to food banks and pantries across all 67 counties under a nationwide price-fixing settlement.
The settlement says Florida’s share includes 472,500 dozen eggs in 21 truckloads along with a $348,490 payment for enforcement.
Producers including Cal-Maine Foods are covering all shipping and handling costs for deliveries through Feeding Florida’s network serving more than 2,400 agencies.
The eggs stem from a joint U.S. Department of Justice and 17-state investigation into manipulation of Urner Barry price quotes.
Attorney General James Uthmeier highlighted the relief for working families.
“Eggs are a breakfast staple, not a luxury. When the price of a carton goes up, working families feel it every week at the checkout line. Today 5.67 million eggs are moving to food banks and pantries in every Florida county—at no cost to households, food banks, or taxpayers. That is affordability you can measure.”
The settlement adds five years of antitrust compliance rules for the companies.
Deliveries are wrapping up this week.
