Texas – Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller expressed support for President Trump’s request for a federal investigation into the nation’s four largest meatpacking companies.
“I fully support President Trump’s call for a federal investigation into the long-suspected unethical practices of the four major meatpacking companies operating in the United States,” Miller said.
“I have long advocated for this and have previously publicly called on President Trump and the U.S. Department of Justice to conduct a criminal investigation into price fixing among the nation’s largest meat packers.
Two of these companies are not even American-owned; they are based in Brazil, and they are making billions while our ranchers and consumers are getting the short end of the stick.”
Miller added, “Enough is enough. We must determine whether American ranchers and consumers are being squeezed while these massive corporations profit through price manipulation and collusion.
I applaud the President’s bold leadership and urge the Department of Justice to expedite this investigation. If it is found that these companies are exploiting our ranchers, harming consumers, and undermining our food security, they must be held accountable.”
