A class-action lawsuit has been filed against the largest beef suppliers in Canada for allegedly conspiring to restrict competition and raise prices on beef sold in Quebec.
The lawsuit was filed by the Belleau Lapointe law firm on March 24 in Quebec Superior Court.
It alleges that various companies related to Cargill Inc., JBS Canada ULC, Tyson Food Inc. and National Beef Packing Co LLC acted in concert to “unduly restrict competition related to the production, supply or sale of beef” in the province since Jan. 1, 2015.
