<p>It&#8217;s the last day for eligible Canadians to claim their share of the Loblaw bread price-fixing class-action settlement.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a Canadian who purchased bread from Loblaw stores, you can now apply to receive compensation from the bread price-fixing class-action settlement.</p>
<p>The Superior Court of <span class="xn-location">Quebec and the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved a $500-million settlement in the bread price-fixing class action lawsuit against Loblaw. The claims period began on Sept. 11, and Canadians who want to submit a claim must do so before the deadline of Dec. 12, 2025.</span></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.canadianbreadsettlement.ca/media/zmnilcrw/order-settlement-approval-cv-17-586063-00cp.pdf" target="_blank">lawsuit</a> against Loblaw alleges that the supermarket giant overcharged Canadians for bread as a result of an industry-wide price-fixing scandal involving certain packaged bread products. There are also ongoing class actions against Canada Bread, Sobeys, Metro, Walmart Canada, and Giant Tiger.</p>
<p>In addition to Loblaw Companies Ltd. and parent company George Weston Ltd., other grocery chains mentioned in the lawsuit include Metro, Sobeys, and Walmart.</p>

<p>You can now submit a claim if you&#8217;re a Canadian resident who purchased packaged bread between Jan. 1, 2001, and Dec. 31, 2021. According to the Canadian Packaged Bread Class Actions Settlement <a href="https://www.canadianbreadsettlement.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a>, you don&#8217;t need to provide proof of purchase.</p>
<p>If you previously received a $25 Loblaw card from the Loblaw Card Program, you can still submit a compensation claim. However, you will only receive more than $25 if there&#8217;s enough money in the settlement fund and if the additional amount is at least $5.</p>
<p>Packaged bread includes any and all packaged bread products and bread alternatives produced or distributed by Loblaw. Products include, but aren&#8217;t limited to, bagged bread, buns, rolls, bagels, naan bread, English muffins, wraps, pita, and tortillas. It does not include frozen bread and bread baked on-site in the supermarket.</p>

<p>As per the settlement agreement, <span class="xn-location">Weston</span> and Loblaw must pay the remaining $404 million, having previously paid <span class="xn-money">$96 million</span> through the earlier Loblaw Card Program. Once court-approved expenses have been deducted, 22 per cent is allocated for class members in Quebec, while 78 per cent is allocated for class members nationwide.</p>
<p>The exact amount that class members will receive hasn&#8217;t been specified and will depend on several factors, including the settlement funds available, the number of approved claims, and whether a claimant has previously received a $25 Loblaw card.</p>
<p>Funds have also been allocated to business owners who purchased bread for resale from 2001 to 2021.</p>

<p>Canadians can submit a claim by filling out an <a href="https://veritaconnect.ca/canadianbreadsettlement/en-us" target="_blank">online claim form</a>. You&#8217;ll be required to provide personal details, including your full name, date of birth, address, and contact information.</p>
<p>You must also answer a verification question to prove that you&#8217;re eligible to submit a claim, and state whether you received a $25 Loblaw Card under the Loblaw Card Program in 2018.</p>
<p>If you live in Quebec, you can submit a claim on a separate <a href="https://reglementpainquebec.ca/en/" target="_blank">website</a>. According to the timeline on the website, processing claims takes time, and class members are likely to receive their money in 2026. Compensation payments are typically sent out six to 12 months after the claims deadline.</p>
<p>&#8220;This resolution provides Canadian consumers with the monetary relief they deserve,&#8221; said <span class="xn-person">Jim Orr</span>, a partner at Orr Taylor LLP.</p>
