Filed in a Minnesota court, the complaint accuses the meat packers of exchanging detailed and sensitive non-public information. Meat buyers claim that prices were boosted by more than 50 percent. Hormel Foods issued a statement saying they are confident that these allegations are without merit and intend to defend this lawsuit.
