US: Does Nestle squeeze out its ice cream competition?

According to reports, Nestle and its subsidiary Dryer’s has been sued by Clemmy’s over allegations that Nestle squeezes other ice cream competitors off the shelves, including sugar-free and healthier brands. Nestle allegedly puts pressure on food retailers to limit the shelf space available to Clemmy’s sugar-free products, or to strategically place Clemmy’s products out-of-sight on the shelves.
