On September 2, 2016, Maplevale Farms, Inc. filed an antitrust class action complaint against Sanderson Farms and other poultry producers. Then on October 4, 2016, a complaint was filed against Sanderson Farms and other peers alleging violations of the Sherman Act.

If you suffered a loss in Sanderson Farms you have until December 27, 2016 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff. Your ability to share in any recovery doesn’t require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
