Final Days to Claim Your Share of the $500M Loblaw Bread Price-Fixing Settlement

The clock is ticking for Canadians to claim their portion of a historic $500 million settlement linked to a bread price-fixing scandal involving Loblaw Companies Ltd. This is the final week to submit claims, and thousands stand to benefit from what is being called one of the largest consumer compensation payouts in Canadian history.

Background of the Settlement

For nearly a decade, major Canadian grocery chains—including Loblaw—were found to have colluded to inflate bread prices across the country. An investigation revealed that these companies coordinated to raise prices on staple bread products, harming consumers nationwide. The scandal led to a sweeping $500 million settlement designed to compensate affected customers.

How to Claim Your Share

To participate, consumers must submit a claim by the upcoming deadline. The process is straightforward:
- Visit the official settlement website.
- Provide proof of purchase (receipts from 2018–2023 may be required).
- Complete and submit the claim form online or by mail.
The settlement covers a broad range of bread products sold in Loblaw stores, including white, wheat, and specialty breads.

Why Time Matters

According to reports, many eligible consumers remain unaware of their rights to compensation. Experts urge households to act quickly to ensure they do not miss out on potential refunds ranging from dozens to hundreds of dollars.
