Nagoya plans to impose a total of approximately 390 million yen in fines on six companies for collusion in school lunch bidding. Cooking companies have been collaborating for at least seven years in bidding for school lunches called "school lunches," which have been introduced at public junior high schools in Nagoya City.
The companies suspected of violating the Antimonopoly Act are Hagakure Yushin, Uokuni Sohonsha, Nippon General Food, and MayQ. "Junior High School School Lunch" is a system in which students choose what they want to eat from multiple menus.
