McDonald’s, one of largest companies in the world with 13,000 U.S. restaurants and 39,000 locations globally, is seeking unspecified monetary damages and a court order to end the alleged price-fixing scheme. The chain has requested a trial by jury.

McDonald's Corp. has sued Tyson Foods Inc. and other major beef producers claiming price fixing on beef products. The lawsuit, which was filed Friday in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of New York, names Tyson, along with Cargill Inc., JBS, Swift Beef Company and more as defendants.

McDonald’s has sued JBS, Tyson Foods and other leading meat processing and packing companies for allegedly conspiring for years to limit beef supplies, boosting their profits while causing the fast food giant to pay artificially higher prices.
