The Federal Trade Commission will allow Amazon to continue its $13.7 billion deal to acquire Whole Foods.
The FTC conducted an investigation to gauge whether the merger would decrease competition under federal regulations, Bruce Hoffman, acting director of the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition, said in a statement Wednesday. It ultimately decided not to pursue the matter further.
