In April 2024, FeganScott filed a class action lawsuit alleging that since at least 2019 the top sugar producers in the United States operated an unlawful anticompetitive scheme that allowed them to drive up the price for white, refined table sugar.

Through the suit, our firm intends to recoup the money we believe the sugar manufacturers received by artificially inflating the cost of granulated sugar, and to hold the companies accountable for their anti-consumer behavior.

If you or someone you know has purchased granulated sugar, such as Domino Sugar, from a grocery store in the last five years, you may be eligible to join our class action lawsuit. Contact us today to learn more about your legal options.

What happened?

According to the complaint our firm filed in April 2024, a group of major U.S. sugar producers used an intermediary, a supposed industry analyst platform known as Commodity Information, to share sensitive, non-public pricing information, and in turn, use it to raise, fix, maintain, stabilize or coordinate the price of granulated sugar. The complaint goes on to detail that since the group of producers make up the majority of granulated sugar productions and sales in the U.S., the alleged scheme suppressed competition from other smaller market participants.

Which companies are named in the lawsuit?

Our class action lawsuit alleges that the yearslong price-fixing scheme was operated by American Sugar Refining, owners of Domino Sugar; Michigan Sugar; and United Sugar Producers & Refiners.
