Canada Bread accuses Maple Leaf Foods of evading responsibility in price-fixing lawsuits and an investigation.

Canada Bread has accused Maple Leaf Foods of using it to evade responsibility in two class-action lawsuits and a Competition Bureau investigation concerning alleged bread price-fixing. In a court filing, Canada Bread alleges Maple Leaf violated laws and management agreements prior to its sale to Grupo Bimbo in 2014. Canada Bread, which faced a $50 million fine in 2023, seeks damages from Maple Leaf, which has not yet responded to the claims.
