Profits tripled....never let a good crisis go unexpolited.

The US’s largest egg producer has reported soaring profits as consumer prices hit record highs thanks to avian flu – and alleged price-fixing which is being investigated by the Department of Justice.

Cal-Maine’s profits more than tripled compared with the same quarter last year – and are nearly eight times as high as at the start of the bird flu outbreak in February 2022, according to financial results published on Tuesday.

The company, which produces 20% of the eggs eaten in the US, made $1bn in windfall income in the first three-quarters of the financial year – the profits extracted after accounting for production, processing and transport costs.
