Sparboe Farms has reached an agreement with the Minnesota Attorney General’s office to settle a lawsuit over price gouging. The Minnesota-based egg producer will donate more than one-million eggs to state nonprofit groups to address hunger and food insecurity. The lawsuit claims Sparboe Farms tripled its egg prices in March of 2020 during the early days of the pandemic. Under a state executive order, Minnesota consumers were protected from COVID-related profiteering from March of 2020-to-July of 2021.
