Sunkist will pay a $375,000 civil penalty.
The 6,000-member citrus grower cooperative’s payment will settle charges relating to the sale of its Yuma, Ariz., citrus processing facility. Sunkist agreed in 1981 to sell the Yuma operations to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that Sunkist sought to monopolize citrus products markets in the United States and Canada. But the FTC said that even though it extended the deadline for the sale of the Yuma processing operations until 1983, the actual transaction did not take place until 1984.
