Shoppers who have bought beef may be eligible for cash in $87.5M settlement - how to claim
Consumers who purchased beef between 2014 and 2019 in specific states may be eligible for a payment from an $87.5 million settlement with Tyson and Cargill.Summary
A class action lawsuit settlement of $87.5 million, involving Tyson Foods and Cargill, may provide cash payments to shoppers who purchased beef products between August 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019, in over 25 states. The lawsuit alleges that several beef processors colluded to increase prices. While Tyson and Cargill have settled, denying wrongdoing, other companies like JBS and National Beef have not. Eligible purchases include fresh and frozen beef from chuck, loin, rib, or round primal cuts, excluding premium options like organic or Wagyu, and do not include ground beef or pre-seasoned products. Consumers can submit a claim form by June 30, 2026, to receive a pro-rata payment, but doing so forfeits the right to sue Cargill and Tyson Foods regarding these claims.
