Not reasonably enough. I decided to stop buying eggs from Cal-Maine Foods after they were repeatedly caught price gouging/fixing. At one point early in the pandemic their profits were up 718% from last quarter. Their supply chain wasn't impacted and at the time there hadn't been a single positive test for avian flu at any of their facilities.

Their profits soared at a time when a lot of Americans were unable to work and were having trouble just paying rent and keeping bills paid.
It took some searching, including through their financial statements over the years, but I managed to get pretty long list of brands they supply and/or distribute for. I've got a list of brands to avoid, but I still can't be confident that other brands seen in stores are totally unaffiliated. As consumers we can only do our best though. If you can find a local farm with chickens, that's probably your best bet.
