\n

A federal grand jury has indicted four former executives at\u00a0Pilgrim\u2019s\u00a0Pride, one of the largest US poultry producers, for their roles in an alleged price fixing conspiracy for broiler chicken products.<\/p>\n

Koch Foods, an Illinois chicken company, was also indicted separately for allegedly being part of the conspiracy to fix the prices, the Justice Department said Thursday. Koch did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The department said that the four Pilgrim\u2019s\u00a0Pride\u00a0executives indicted were Jason McGuire, a former executive vice president of sales, and Timothy Stiller, a former general<\/a> manager, former sales executives Wesley Tucker and sales executive Justin Gay.<\/p>\n

Pilgrim\u2019s\u00a0Pride\u00a0said in an email that none of the four work for the company currently but declined to say when Gay left. Lawyers for the four either did not respond to a request for comment or declined comment.<\/p>\n
