What happened
A proposed class action against sugar producers, apparently alleging a conspiracy to fix prices for granulated sugar in violation of antitrust laws. The case is coordinated as multidistrict litigation and includes both class claims and direct actions by businesses such as Albertsons. Consumers who purchased granulated sugar may be among the proposed class members, though the allegations are not yet proven.
