Executive Order 14364: Addressing Security Risks From Price Fixing and Anti-Competitive Behavior in the Food Supply Chain

This executive order addresses growing concerns that price fixing and other anti-competitive practices are threatening the stability and affordability of the U.S. food supply. It directs the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission to establish task forces to investigate food-related industries, with particular attention to foreign-controlled entities. The order frames food affordability as both an economic and national security issue, citing risks tied to market concentration and collusion. Findings from these investigations will inform enforcement actions and potential regulatory or legislative responses.
