No one should be buying anything from Tyson. Pure evil company, not only with deliberately squeezing money from the cash-strapped like this, but the way they treat their animals absolutely should be illegal.

Adding to it, the treatment of their employees is horrendous and very low paying.
The kids they were employing thought they were getting paid a fortune though.

Id like to inform everyone that the cruel way they treat animals is how every single animal agriculture company treat their animals. 99% of animals in farms on earth are farmed in a way that meets the "factory farmed" description. Those "certified human" stickers on your grocery store meat is a label made by a board composed entirely of the CEOs of those exact companies theyre supposed to be regulating.
I realize it's a typo but "certified human" labels on meat would be pretty wild to see.

Now seems like a perfect time to squeeze the pennies out of the lower class, according to Tyson.
Also, Tyson meat is all trash anyway. Too bad other companies are participating. Isn't this close to price fixing or something?
Somebody has to reset the Days Since We Fixed Prices clock at Tyson again.
Lol, that was only several years ago. But they were fined a pittance? Why would they continue to commit the same crimes when it's wildly profitable?
It's not a fine, it's just a cost of doing business.
The only way to make them stop is to hurt their profits, but our corptocracy is too spineless to levy proper fines against businesses.
Or we could start tar and feathering boards of directors. We could even use chicken feathers!

Chicken prices at U.S. grocery stores have hit record highs and should stay elevated as Tyson Foods and other companies dial back poultry production to boost margins while inflation-weary shoppers buy chicken instead of beef and pork.
That's not competition, that's cartel behavior. Sounds like it's time to break Tyson Foods back up into smaller companies.
I'm doing more meatless meals due to this and dietary requirements.
I'd recommend fitgreenmind on YouTube I was trying some of her recipes and they are very good.

If it works for OPEC, why wouldn't it work for others? Regulation of corporations is a no-brainer because they're sociopathic in nature.
If corporations really have personhood, why can't they go to jail for crimes against the community?
ally have personhood, why can’t they go to jail for crimes against the community?
Well, you see, thats because big corpos are run by rich people.
and only laws that benefit them may be allowed to pass.
I knew Tyson was a trash company, but this is blatantly predatory; up there with Nestle. They won't get any more of my money, but I wish there was an easy way to know which house (store) brands are using Tyson.
I was shocked and completely changed my diet recently when I noticed that the price per pound for chicken was greater than the price per pound for tofu. Now I'm experimenting with making my own tempeh at home.
Look into textured vegetable protein, too. It doesn't have much taste of its own, but gives a ground-beef-like texture when you add it to pasta sauce. Wicked cheap, when you take into account that it's dehydrated.
Edit: good room temperature shelf life, too.
Their chicken is nasty IMO. I just got Purdue at Kroger and hour ago and it was 2.99 a pound for boneless/skinless. It's my preferred brand. Butchered well, way more tender.

Less chickens being slaughtered is fine by me. Maybe beef and pork producers also wanna 'boost margins'

I am glad I stocked up on chicken thighs from my local butcher shop a few weeks ago. Was something like 99 cents/pound. Now I'm seeing them sitting at $1.70/pound.
But chicken quarters are 89 cents a pound. It's weird how the pricing works.
