Hershey, Mars in EU pricing probe
From Times Wire Services
The European Commission has asked for information on pricing practices by candy makers, a signal that regulators across the globe are taking a broader look into allegations of an industrywide price-fixing scheme.
In its annual report, Hershey Co. said it fielded a request for information from the European Commission. A spokeswoman for Mars Inc. said it received a request from the body in mid-January.
