潜水简介：
- 在整理其在肉鸡鸡的可能价格固定的调查后，证券和交易所委员会不会对泰森食品进行任何行动，TheStreet报告。
- 这原诉讼was filed in September 2016 by Maplevale Farms, which claimed that 14 poultry businesses — including Tyson, Perdue Farms, Foster Farms, Sanderson Farms and Koch Foods — conspired for years to artificially raise chicken prices by sharing supply information via data company Agri-Stats. With that information, the lawsuit claimed the companies colluded to cut their supplies and manage production to manipulate prices.
- 泰森从一开始就否认了指控。泰森首席执行官汤姆海耶斯，他在1月1日担任顶级邮政，表示，该公司将该案例介绍“作为我们诚信的攻击”根据阿肯色州的业务。
Dive Insight:
With Tyson now being cleared of any wrongdoing, the company has saved millions of dollars. Had the price-fixing accusations held up, it could have been financially disastrous. Not only would legal fees and fines have eaten away at company profits, but potentially plummeting stock prices could have cost investors and shareholders more than a pretty penny.
去年10月，课程诉讼后不久，指责泰森和13个价格定价的竞争对手最初提起，股权研究公司关键研究降级泰森的股票从“持有”到“卖”并将其价格目标从100美元削减到40美元 - 肯定没有任何股东失败的变革。
但也许更昂贵的是泰森的企业声誉。该公司可以花费数百万来解开公共关系噩梦，并重新获得消费者信任。持怀疑态度的消费者可以通过向其他品牌或替代肉类来源转移到其他品牌或替代肉类来源来轻松避开鸡制片人。
Maplevale案例并不是泰森被指控定价的时间。就在上个月，阿肯色州的法官驳回了另一个股东诉讼这来自涉及几家公司的大规模价格定期阴谋的指责，根据阿肯色州的业务。
Issues surrounding the Georgia Dock Index haven’t helped matters either. Some experts previouslyquestioned the Georgia Dockbecause it calculated a much higher price for chicken than similar methods. The benchmark was determined by companies — such as Tyson, Perdue Farms and others named in the lawsuit — self-reporting costs without independent third-party verification. Some claimed it could be used to inflate chicken prices. The U.S. Department of Agriculture subsequently删除了乔治亚州码头索引从12月份的每周肉类定价报告。
各种诉讼和定价丑闻已经提出了关于的问题如何设置肉价。导致更多的审查在鸡,meat and other commodity pricing, along with the implementation of increased monitoring — which is good for the food industry overall. But even moreso, it’s absolutely necessary to protect consumers and provide confidence in the brands they buy.
