High Fructose Corn Syrup Antitrust Litigation

The lawsuit claims that beginning at least as early as 1988 and continuing at least until June 30, 1995, defendants engaged in an unlawful conspiracy to fix, raise, maintain and stabilize the prices of high fructose corn syrup in the United States in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act, Title 15 U.S.C. § 1.

Plaintiffs claim that as a result of the alleged conspiracy, they and other members of the Class described below have paid more than they would have absent the alleged conspiracy. For the purpose of this action, plaintiffs define “high fructose corn syrup” to mean a sweetener derived from corn containing 42% or 55% fructose.

Defendants deny that they engaged in a conspiracy to fix the price of HFCS or that they violated the antitrust laws in any other way.
