If you purchased Shell Eggs or Egg Products produced in the United States directly from any Producer from January 1, 2000 through July 30, 2014, you could be a Class Member in a proposed class action settlement.
If you purchased Shell Eggs or Egg Products produced in the United States directly from any Producer from January 1, 2000 through July 30, 2014, you could be a Class Member in a proposed class action settlement.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire- HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by Weinstein Kitchenoff & Asher LLC regarding the In re Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 08-md-02002.
This legal notice is to inform you of proposed Settlements between Plaintiffs and Defendants Midwest Poultry Services, LP (“Midwest”), National Food Corporation (“NFC”), and United Egg Producers/United States Egg Marketers (“UEP/USEM”), reached in the class action lawsuit, In re Processed Egg Products Antitrust Litigation, Case No. 08-md-02002, pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and also to inform you of a second amendment to the Sparboe Settlement.
Who is included in the Settlements & Second Sparboe Amendment?
The Settlement “Classes” include all persons and entities in the United States that purchased Shell Eggs and Egg Products, in the United States directly from any Producer from January 1, 2000 through July 30, 2014. Due to the recent Settlements, the prior Sparboe Settlement is amended to add to the Sparboe Settlement Class direct purchases of Shell Eggs and Egg Products from March 1, 2014 through July 30, 2014, expanding the Class Period to make it comparable to the more recent Settlement Classes.
What is this case about?
Plaintiffs claim that Defendants conspired to limit the supply of Shell Eggs and Egg Products, which raised the price of Shell Eggs and Egg Products and, therefore, violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, a federal statute that prohibits agreements that unreasonably restrain competition. The settling Defendants deny all of Plaintiffs’ allegations.
What do the Settlements provide?
Under the Settlements, Plaintiffs will release all claims against Midwest, NFC and UEP/USEM. In exchange, Midwest will pay $2.5 million; NFC will pay $1 million; and UEP/USEM will pay $500,000, into a settlement fund for the benefit of the Classes. Plaintiffs also will receive documents and information that Plaintiffs’ attorneys believe will aid in their analysis and prosecution of this Action.
What does the Sparboe Settlement provide?
There is no monetary relief under the Sparboe Settlement. Sparboe agreed to provide substantial and immediate cooperation to Plaintiffs, which the Court already found conferred substantial benefits upon the Class. The second amendment merely conforms the Sparboe Class to the recent Settlement Classes.
What do I do now?
If you are a Class Member your legal rights are affected, and you now have a choice to make.
Participate in the Settlements: No action is required to remain part of the recent Settlements or the amended Sparboe Settlement. If the Court grants final approval to the Settlements and the Second Sparboe Amendment, they will be binding upon you and all other Class Members. By remaining part of the Settlements, you will give up any potential claims that you may have against Midwest, NFC, UEP/USEM and Sparboe relating to the claims alleged in this lawsuit. You may be eligible to receive a settlement payment at a future date.
Ask to be excluded: If you wish to exclude yourself from the Sparboe Settlement as amended (if you had no purchases before March 1, 2014) and/or the recent Settlements and wish to retain your rights to pursue your own lawsuit relating to the claims alleged in this lawsuit, you must formally exclude yourself from the Classes by sending a signed letter to the Claims Administrator postmarked on or before March 6, 2015.
Object: You may notify the Court that you object to the recent Settlements and/or Second Sparboe Amendment by mailing a statement of your objection(s) to the Court, Plaintiffs’ Counsel, and Defense Counsel postmarked by March 6, 2015. Detailed instructions on how to participate, opt out or object are on the Settlement website.
Who represents you?
The Court appointed Steven A. Asher of Weinstein Kitchenoff & Asher LLC; Michael D. Hausfeld of Hausfeld LLP; Stanley D. Bernstein of Bernstein Liebhard LLP; and Stephen D. Susman of Susman Godfrey LLP as Interim Co- Lead Class Counsel. You do not have to pay them or anyone else to participate. You may hire your own lawyer at your own expense.
When will the Court decide whether to approve the Settlements and/or the Second Sparboe Amendment?
At 9:30 a.m. on May 6, 2015, at the United States District Court, James A. Byrne Federal Courthouse, 601 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, the Court will hold a hearing to determine the fairness and adequacy of the recent Settlements and the Second Sparboe Amendment, and consider any motion for an award of attorneys’ fees and incentive awards and reimbursement of litigation costs. You may appear at the hearing, but are not required to do so.
Please note that the Court may change the date and/or time of the Fairness Hearing. Settlement Class Members are advised to check www.eggproductssettlement.com for any updates.

Each year, in honor of national Genifique Day, hundreds of thousands of dollars in vital donations are raised for St. Jude. Each Genifique bottle sold helps the hospital fulfill its mission to find cures and save children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. It costs $2 million a day to operate the hospital, and your individual contribution can help in so many ways:
21 bottles could pay for one night of family housing
9 bottles could cover one blood count test
5 bottles could buy a day of meals
3 bottles could pay for one bone marrow needle
Additionally, the brand will continue its social media campaign through this final weekend—Instagram or Tweet your hands in the shape of a heart and post to social media with the #LancomeGivesBack hashtag, and the brand will make a $1 donation to St. Jude (up to the $20,000 goal).
“I’m honored to be affiliated with a brand such as Lancome that supports such a worthy and meaningful cause,” Lancome ambassadress Lupita Nyong’o states. “Growing up, I witnessed doctors in my own family work tirelessly to restore the health of people around them. I understand how important it is to support efforts to find cures for critical diseases, and I therefore proudly support the work that St. Jude is doing, especially in pediatric cancer, to help the children there lead better, healthier lives.”
The Genifique collection serves as the epitome of Lancome’s commitment to helping women look and feel their overall best. Inspired by cutting edge science, Genifique’s award-winning formula infuses skin with radiance while visibly reactivating the 10 key signs of youth.
“Thanks to Lancome and other supporters, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases,” says Richard Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC/St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “Our founder Danny Thomas believed that no child should die in the dawn of life. To fulfill this promise, St. Jude depends on initiatives like national Genifique Day to support the life-saving reseach and treatment conducted at the hospital, and ensure that no family ever receives a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food.”

As the only Hispanic food company to offer consumers an entire line of low sodium, organic, diet and sugar free products, the 250,000 square foot facility will boost Goya’s distribution capabilities of healthy and authentic Latin food and strengthen the company’s position and growth in the West. “Based on our current sales and the influence of Latin culture on the food industry, it’s an opportune time to expand in California, a marketable region that represents high-growth for Goya,” says Robert A. Unanue, who spearheaded the expansion of Goya California and whose great grandfather Don Prudencio founded Goya Foods in 1936. “The new California facility will allow us to accelerate our reach and secure our position in one of the top regions of the United States while simultaneously allowing us to focus on the expansion of our healthy product lines.”
The new facility will act as Goya’s West Coast hub and service the surrounding states including Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Utah. The new center features a new warehouse management system, increased capacity for packing, freezing, and railroad transportation that strategically runs through the West Coast and links to Goya’s new facility in Houston, Texas.
As part of Goya’s 2011 collaboration with First Lady Michelle Obama’s MyPlate / MiPlato campaign, Goya has focused on expanding its healthy product lines that feature a variety of over 40 low sodium and organic beans, organic rice, brown rice, quinoa, beans, vegetables, frozen vegetables and fruits, coconut water, diet beverages, as well as household staples like olive oil and low sodium condiments. “Goya’s new California facility is part of the company’s $300 million global expansion of four new state of the art manufacturing, production and distribution facilities in Texas, Georgia, and New Jersey, and will play a significant role in supporting our efforts to provide healthy products,” says Bob Unanue, President of Goya Foods. “Since our collaboration with First Lady Michelle Obama, we’ve printed over 336 million cans marked with the MyPlate logo. We’ve not only provided consumers with healthy options that have ‘good taste, are good for you and of good value,’ key elements that resonate with our popular tagline ‘If It’s Goya, It Has To Be Good,’ but we’ve provided the educational materials and aligned our overall communications in order to really make a difference in the well-being of our consumers.” Each of Goya’s new facilities will help reach new consumers and strengthen the Goya brand throughout the United States and internationally.
