There is currently an antitrust class action lawsuit against several beef processors—including JBS, Cargill, National Beef, and Tyson Foods which claims that they conspired to limit the supply of beef and increase prices in the market.
Who is eligible:
- Customers who purchased beef products between August 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019.
Which products are included in the settlement?
- The settlement includes a wide selection of fresh and frozen beef products. You can see the full list of included products here.Â
- Note that this is for meat purchased in one of the following states/jurisdictions (known as “Repealer Jurisdictions” for this case): Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Compensation:
- Cash Payment: Two of the defendants, Tyson and Cargil, have agreed to Settlements totaling $87.5 million ($55 million from Tyson and $32.5 million from Cargill) hence you will be eligible for an equal share payment of the Net Settlement Fund which will be proportional to the amount of included beef you purchased during the class period.
No proof of purchase is required but note that you must file your claim on or before June 30th. You may file your claim online or by mail to the following address:
