ACTIVITY
Record dateJustice and the FTC opened their respective workstreams.
WHY so expensive, that's the Question!
The task forces will look for conduct rather than assume the announcement proved it.
People explain Supply Chains, very long Chains, somewhere along the Chain the Price gets VERY BIG..... find out where, I'm trying to buy a Basket, not the whole Store.
Grocery shoppers have requested a result that fits on a receipt.
Two Task Forces, make sure they don't investigate each OTHER.
PUBLIC RECORD
Executive Order 14364, signed December 6, 2025: Directed Justice and the FTC to establish food supply-chain security task forces to investigate possible anticompetitive conduct and take appropriate action if supported by evidence. The order did not establish that any particular company had committed price fixing.
