0:32Now PlayingSome of the country's biggest egg producers have settled a complaint that they artificially raised prices in recent years. As part of a deal with the Justice Department and more than a dozen states, the companies agreed to donate more than 50 million eggs to food banks around the country. They will also pay more than $3 million.
Egg prices went through the roof in recent years. The major driver was bird flu, which wiped out tens of millions of egg-laying hens. The egg producers -- Cal-Maine Foods, Hickman's Egg Ranch and Versova -- did not admit to any wrongdoing. Cal-Maine says it did its best to keep supermarkets stocked with eggs during a difficult time.
