The US government, as part of an investigation into the chicken industry, is trying to intervene in a price-fixing lawsuit brought against the country's biggest poultry producers

The Justice Department had notified Tyson in April that it convened a grand jury and subpoenaed the company to provide evidence. On Friday, department lawyers asked a judge to halt evidence collection in the lawsuit for six months to ensure the integrity of the grand jury's investigation. The Justice Department, in its court filing on Friday, said it's pursuing a probe similar to the civil complaint.

Walmart accused the chicken companies of killing hatchlings to raise prices and ramping up production once prices reached a level they were satisfied with. It is unclear under what law Walmart is objecting. Food distribution giant Sysco also sued the poultry companies last year.Tyson, Pilgrim's Pride , Sanderson and Perdue collectively control 51% of the chicken industry, according to Watt Poultry USA, a poultry industry business publication.
