A federal judge this week granted class certification for two groups of turkey buyers in an antitrust lawsuit against some of the biggest processors in the country.
United States district judge Sunil Harjani ruled that the group of suppliers, restaurants and others could team up for the lawsuit, claiming Hormel, Butterball and others conspired to fix prices, according to court records.
The class period is January 2010 through December 2016. The case was filed in 2019
