A lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission alleges that food and beverage maker PepsiCo engaged in illegal price discrimination by giving unfair price advantages to one big-box retailer
The main conceptual idea of the text is that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is suing PepsiCo for illegal price discrimination.
The FTC alleges PepsiCo gave unfair price advantages to Walmart, specifically through promotional payments, which hurt other retailers (especially smaller ones) and ultimately led to inflated prices for consumers. This practice, violating the 1936 Robinson-Patman Act, is seen as unfair competition and detrimental to the overall market.
