VANCOUVER — A proposed class-action lawsuit launched in British Columbia alleges Loblaws, Walmart Canada and Sobeys"misrepresented" the weight of meat products by including the weight of packaging in calculating prices.
The lawsuit alleges grocers are using"deceptive means" that violate federal and provincial regulations by including packaging weight in the price of raw and cooked meat products that are sold by weight. A judge still needs to certify the class proceeding, which is seeking punitive damages due to the alleged deception coming at a time of high inflation and when grocers have publicly committed to keeping prices low while discreetly"overcharging" consumers.
