Evan Young, representing food retailers through the Food Marketing Institute, said having the court’s effort to assess harm to businesses has proved complicated.

Justice Department attorney Anthony Yang said the Agriculture Department wants to keep the data private because retailers have expected that for decades. “The government is trying to keep its word,” he said.
