Mizuho analyst Jeremy Scott said it isn't entirely surprising to see the DOJ intervene in the Maplevale civil case against chicken producers given the DOJ's interest in the case previously became apparent in Tyson's (TSN) 10-Q filling in May. Scott said the investigation launch does not necessarily suggest that there is new corroborating evidence, though it does raise the stakes for company legal teams and builds on an already distracting and costly process in the courts that will likely take two years or more to reach a conclusion. Other protein stocks include Hormel (HRL), Pilgrim's Pride (PPC) and Sanderson Farms (SAFM).
