The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo, Inc., alleging that the company engaged in illegal price discrimination that harmed small businesses. The FTC claims that PepsiCo provided advantages to large retailers, violating the Robinson-Patman Act, which is designed to protect small businesses from unfair pricing practices. The lawsuit was characterized by some FTC commissioners as a politically motivated action, with one commissioner labeling it as 'the worst case I have seen.' This legal action comes amid ongoing scrutiny of corporate practices in the beverage industry.
