Scott+Scott was appointed co-lead counsel in a lawsuit on behalf of direct purchasers of frozen potato products alleging that the largest U.S. frozen potato processors, including Lamb Weston Holdings Inc., McCain Foods USA, Inc., J.R. Simplot Co., and Cavendish Farms, Inc., conspired to artificially inflate prices, causing a more than 40% cost increase for purchasers since at least 2021. Defendants, who collectively control 97% or more of the $68 billion per-year frozen potato products market, deployed lockstep price increases that allowed them to realize unprecedented margins as a result of the conspiracy.
