Pork price-fixing consumer settlements

A federal judge in Minnesota approved notice of settlements between consumer purchasers and Agri Stats, Clemens, Hormel, Seaboard, Triumph and Tyson over pork prices. The class is people who indirectly bought raw pork — bacon, or fresh or frozen bellies, loins, shoulder, ribs or pork chops — for their own household between June 28, 2014 and June 30, 2018 in 23 states or the District of Columbia; in Kansas, Tennessee and South Carolina the period starts a year later, on June 28, 2015. No receipts are required, the claim form asks only roughly how much you bought, and the fund is divided pro rata, so any figure is an estimate. Claims close October 29, 2026 — 90 days after the court's July 31, 2026 notice order — and filing on the official site is free.

Expected

The court set the final approval hearing for about 40 days after the October 29, 2026 deadline, and payments follow approval; the order allows more than one round of distribution if that is economical, so a later batch is normal rather than a lost payment.

Read off the official notice, in its own words. These dates slip — an appeal can move a distribution by a year or more — so treat it as the administrator's plan rather than a schedule.

In re Pork Antitrust Litigation (Consumer Indirect Purchaser Actions) · 0:18-cv-01776-JRT-JFD · U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota

No receipts: the court's order describes a claim form that asks a short set of questions about how much qualifying pork you bought, and the fund is split pro rata by that amount, so individual amounts are estimates and not guaranteed. Co-lead counsel may set a minimum payment. The court approved payment by physical check, Zelle, digital Mastercard, or Amazon, Starbucks, Walmart, Kroger and Safeway gift cards.

Why this case happened

The class covers raw pork bought for personal consumption — bacon, or fresh or frozen bellies, loins, shoulder, ribs or pork chops. It excludes anything marketed as organic or no-antibiotics-ever, and anything other than bacon that is marinated, seasoned, flavored or breaded.

Organic and no-antibiotics-ever pork is excluded, as is anything besides bacon that is marinated, seasoned, flavored or breaded.

Did you make those purchases in one of the 23 covered states or the District of Columbia?
