Today's Quote/Unquote:

"At Target, we expect our vendors and partners to act with integrity and are committed to providing our guests with everyday low prices on the products we sell. Like several other retailers, we're aware of the anti-competitive actions that certain poultry companies took to illegally inflate prices for retailers and consumers. We filed a lawsuit against these suppliers to recoup the unfair costs that Target was charged for nearly a decade and [to] protect guests and retailers against this harmful behavior in the future."
