The regulator ordered the companies in late 2021 to turn over “detailed information” that would help shed light on the causes behind supply chain snarls and how business practices could have worsened disruptions.
“We will continue to operate with the highest ethical standards in collaboration with our partners to maintain the integrity and resilience of our nation’s supply chain,” Alicia Downard, a spokeswoman for McLane, said in a statement.
