Addressing Security Risks from Price Fixing and Anti-Competitive Behavior in the Food Supply Chain

The order directs the Attorney General and the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission to establish a Food Supply Chain Security Task Force within their respective departments. These task forces are tasked with investigating the food-related industries in the United States for anti-competitive behavior and foreign control, and to determine if these factors are increasing the cost of food or posing a threat to national or economic security. The Attorney General and the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission are required to take necessary actions to remedy any anti-competitive behavior discovered, including enforcement actions and proposing new regulatory approaches.
