Canada bread price-fixing - Loblaw/Weston settled for $500M; class action continues against other grocers
Eligibility hint
Bought packaged bread in Canada at any point between 2001 and 2021
An alleged industry-wide scheme to fix the price of packaged bread in Canada from roughly 2001 to 2015 implicated major bakers and grocers. Loblaw and George Weston admitted participation, issued $25 gift cards in 2018, and agreed to a settlement reported at about $500 million; Canada Bread was fined $50 million after pleading guilty. The class action continues against the remaining grocers, who deny wrongdoing. Eligibility centres on having purchased packaged bread in Canada during the class period.
