Maple Leaf Foods faces potential addition to class-action lawsuit over Canada Bread's $50M price-fixing fine.
Maple Leaf Foods has denied allegations of involvement in a bread price-fixing scheme as it faces a hearing to potentially join an ongoing class-action lawsuit.

The investigation continues amid claims of industry-wide conspiracies.
