According to the commission's chairperson, Lina Khan, the supply chain problems cause issues with the supply of a variety of items to customers, ranging from chips and pharmaceuticals to beef and lumber. Major retailers, distributors, and consumer products suppliers are targeted, including Amazon, Walmart, Kraft Heinz, and Procter&Gamble.
In addition to the aforementioned companies, orders were sent to retailer Kroger, wholesalers C&S Wholesale Grocers and Associated Wholesale Grocers, and also to McLane, Warren Buffett's supply chain management division of Berkshire Hathaway.
The regulator plans to establish whether the disruptions resulted in specific supply delays, antitrust actions or price increases, according to the FTC website.

During a trilateral meeting in Washington, the parties agreed to identify industries where efforts should be made to minimize future supply chain disruptions in North America.
