Consumers who purchased specific beef cuts in 26 states, including North Carolina, between 2014 and 2019 may be eligible for a settlement payment.Summary
A class-action antitrust lawsuit against Tyson Foods, Cargill, National Beef, and JBS has resulted in an $87.5 million settlement for consumers who purchased certain beef products between August 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019, in 26 states and the District of Columbia. The lawsuit alleged that these companies colluded to inflate beef prices. Qualifying purchases include fresh and frozen chuck, loin, rib, and round primal cuts from grocery stores, excluding premium, specialty, and processed beef. Consumers can submit claims online or by mail before June 30, 2026, providing details about their purchases to receive a pro-rata share of the settlement. Claimants must choose a payment method, such as check, PayPal, Venmo, or digital gift cards. Submitting a claim waives the right to sue Tyson and Cargill over the same allegations.
