Plaintiffs accuse major Canadian grocers of overcharging customers by including packaging weight in meat pricing.

A class-action lawsuit filed in British Columbia accuses grocery chains Loblaws, Walmart Canada, and Sobeys of misrepresenting meat weights by including packaging weight in their pricing, leading to overcharging. Lead plaintiff Carrie Corrall, a B.C. mother, claims the practice violates regulations and has caused Canadians to pay more for meat. The lawsuit seeks punitive damages, citing high inflation and grocers' public commitments to low prices. The claims have not been proven in court.
