Additional Information

A class action lawsuit alleging a price-fixing conspiracy among tuna manufacturers has been settled.

The lawsuit claimed that StarKist and Lion Capital, along with other tuna companies, colluded to artificially inflate prices for foodservice-size tuna products. This practice, according to the lawsuit, harmed businesses that relied on these products.

StarKist and Lion Capital denied any wrongdoing but agreed to a $3.875 million settlement to resolve the lawsuit and compensate affected businesses. The settlement aims to provide relief to those who overpaid for tuna products during the specified period. Eligible businesses will receive a share of the settlement based on their purchases during the class period. The exact amount depends on the total number of claims filed.
