The Federal Trade Commission alleges that PepsiCo gave Walmart more favorable prices than rivals, violating the Robinson-Patman Act that prohibits price discrimination among competing buyers.
PepsiCo denies the FTC's allegations, stating its practices are in line with industry standards and that it does not favor certain customers over others.
The lawsuit, filed in New York, seeks to uncover confidential information about Pepsi's alleged pricing strategies and how they impacted competition.
The FTC’s enforcement of the Robinson-Patman Act is fueled by a renewed focus on protecting competition, following a long period of deregulation in the 1980s.
