A federal judge has put an apparent end to a probe that alleged an effort by rival companies to coordinate chicken prices

WASHINGTON—The Justice Department’s last criminal case against former poultry-industry executives accused of price-fixing has collapsed, bringing an apparent end to a probe that alleged an effort by rival companies to coordinate prices of chickens sold to restaurants, grocery stores and others.

A federal judge on Monday dismissed charges against former Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. employees Jason McGuire and Timothy Stiller after prosecutors moved to drop them. The Justice Department’s decision came after the judge criticized the case and barred most of the government’s evidence, including hundreds of emails and text messages and the anticipated testimony of the government’s main witness.
