USA – An investigation by New York’s Attorney General has found that retailers across the state are failing to pass on historically low milk prices to consumers, and appear to be violating state law.

The three-day investigation found that dozens of stores were charging prices for milk that could be defined as ‘excessive’ under the state’s price gouging law.

“With prices to farmers at historic lows, retailers must answer why their milk prices continue to be so high,” said Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.
