A proposed class-action lawsuit alleges Loblaw, Walmart Canada and Sobeys “misrepresented” the weight of meat products in calculating prices.

Lead plaintiff Carrie Corrall says she regularly spends “ hundreds or thousands of dollars” each year on meat products.

The lawsuit alleges grocers are using “deceptive means” that violate federal and provincial regulations by including packaging weight in the price of raw and cooked meat products that are sold by weight.
