Overview
- Cal‑Maine will donate 180,000 dozen large eggs—more than 2.1 million—in Texas within 120 days under a state‑negotiated schedule.
- Minimum allocations include 30,000 dozen each to North Texas Food Bank and Houston Food Bank and 20,000 dozen each to Tarrant Area, Central Texas, and San Antonio food banks.
- Additional distributions include 10,000 dozen each to the Rio Grande Valley, East Texas, and El Pasoans Fighting Hunger, 5,000 dozen to four regional food banks, and 2,000 dozen to five others statewide.
- The settlement bars Cal‑Maine from pricing that would violate the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act during declared disaster periods.
- Paxton’s office announced the deal as consumer‑protection enforcement following an April 2020 lawsuit against one of Texas’s largest egg suppliers.
