Quebec lawyers are asking the Superior Court to certify a class action against U.S. fruit giant Driscoll's over allegations it shipped millions of pounds of berries to Canada carrying non-compliant chemical residues between 2022 and 2024.
Certification isn't a verdict — it's permission to fight as a group. But courts don't certify fairy tales; the allegations cleared the first serious bar just by getting here.
If you bought Driscoll's raspberries in Quebec any time in the last few years, you're potentially in the class. Keep receipts — literally.
