2026-06-01 — In June 2026, settlement payments began reaching Canadian bank accounts from Loblaw Companies and George Weston Limited's $500 million bread price-fixing settlement. Eligible Canadians received either $49.11 or $24.11 depending on whether they participated in Loblaw's $25 gift card program in 2017. The settlement resolved claims that Loblaw, George Weston, and other bread producers secretly agreed to artificially inflate bread prices at wholesale and retail levels from late 2001 to 2015, adding at least $1.50 per loaf. Loblaw acknowledged participating in what officials described as an 'industry-wide price-fixing arrangement.'

2026-04-16 — In April 2026, reports revealed that Loblaw-owned stores including FreshCo and Real Canadian Superstore began deploying body cameras on staff in response to rising shoplifting. Superstore has spent more than $12 million over five years on special duty police officers to patrol checkouts. Privacy experts and academics criticized the measures as heavy-handed, noting that roughly one-quarter of Canadians are food insecure, with disproportionately higher rates among Indigenous, Black, disabled, newcomer, and senior populations. Critics argue the surveillance treats hungry customers as suspects rather than addressing underlying causes of food insecurity.

2026-04-15 — A CBC News investigation published in April 2026 found that multiple Loblaw-owned and Sobeys-affiliated stores were overcharging consumers for underweight meat, despite claims the previous year that the grocery chains had rectified the problem. CBC investigators visited 17 stores across Toronto, Vancouver, and Halifax over two months and documented 32 underweight meat products across seven stores including Safeway, Thrifty Foods, Farm Boy, and Real Atlantic Superstore. Prices were inflated anywhere from 2% to nearly 17% due to packaging weight being included in the price calculation, violating federal rules that require declared net weight to exclude packaging. Loblaw said the problem was limited to one product at a 'small number' of stores.
