People who have purchased chicken in the past ten years may be eligible for a class action settlement

TSR Foodie: If you have purchased chicken in the past ten years (except for vegans/vegans, I assume everyone is the same), then you may be entitled to a payday!

A newly announced $181 million class-action settlement means that anyone who bought chicken from a grocery store in the past 10 years may be eligible for some dough.

Riseaw companies Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro and Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll announced that they have reached a settlement with six major chicken producers-Fieldale, George’s, Mar Jac, Peco, Pilgrim’s and Tyson in their Broiler Chicken antitrust lawsuit , The lawsuit alleges that the price is fixed in the poultry industry, according to Food and wine.

Later this year, the court still needs to approve the settlement, but it is reported that eligible consumers have accepted the claim.

According to the announcement, eligible claimants include anyone who “purchased fresh or frozen raw chicken” between January 1, 2009 and July 31, 2019.

The lawsuit stipulates that chicken sold in halal, kosher, free range or organic form does not meet the conditions of a class action.

It applies to chickens “from any of the aforementioned brands or their suspected personal consumption accomplices” in the following states within this time frame: California, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island (after July 15, 2013) , South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin.

Considering that this may have been a long time ago, the good news is that no proof of purchase is required, which makes it easy to file a claim.You can file a claim here.

Accept claims before December 31, 2022.
