Central Marketing and its owner William Frank Lee have withdrawn a lawsuit against leaf supplier Universal over establishment of its sweet potato processing business, the company said.

Filed in March, 2016, the suit also naming Carolina Innovative Food Ingredients and Universal Leaf North America was withdrawn after new information came to light, Lee said in a statement distributed by Universal. “I would also like to withdraw the allegations that were made against my longtime friend and business colleague Clay Frazier, president of Universal Leaf North America,” Lee said.
