Bumble Bee Foods has settled with US-based broadline distributor Sysco over claims the tuna giant colluded with other major tuna companies in a widespread conspiracy to fix tuna prices.

Sysco’s suit was one of more than 70 accusing the “big three” US tuna companies — StarKist , Bumble Bee and Tri-Union Seafoods — of fixing the price of canned tuna in the United States.

"Plaintiff Sysco Corporation and Defendant Bumble Bee Foods, LLC have agreed to resolve Plaintiff’s claims against Defendant," said court documents.
