Several chicken processors agreed to pay a combined $22.5 million to resolve claims they worked together to raise the price of chicken, adding to an existing settlement pool of $181 million.
The raw chicken settlement benefits consumers who purchased fresh or frozen raw chicken from Tyson Foods, Pilgrim’s Pride, George’s, Peco, Fieldale, Mar-Jac or other chicken producers in California, the 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, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Wisconsin between Jan. 1, 2009, and July 31, 2019.
The raw chicken price-fixing settlement resolves claims that chicken producers worked together to raise and fix the price of chicken products. As a result of this alleged scheme, consumers were forced to overpay for chicken products, the class action lawsuit contends.
The lawsuit includes claims against industry titans such as Tyson Foods and Pilgrim’s Pride and smaller processors such as Foster Farms.
The chicken producers haven’t admitted any wrongdoing but previously agreed to a $181 million class action settlement to resolve these allegations. Now, additional chicken producers have agreed to $22.5 million in settlements, bringing the total settlement fund to $203.5 million.
To fund these new raw chicken price fixing settlements, Harrison Poultry will pay $2.9 million, House of Raeford will pay $4.5 million, Koch Foods will pay $5 million, Mountaire will pay $3 million, O.K. Foods will pay $3.2 million, Sanderson Farms will pay $750,000 and Simmons will pay $3 million.
Under the terms of the chicken settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the amount they paid for chicken products.
Class members who have proof of purchase such as purchase information or receipts can receive a larger settlement payment than those with no proof of purchase. Exact payment amounts will vary depending on the number of participating class members.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is May 12, 2025.
The final approval hearing for the chicken price-fixing settlement is scheduled for June 30, 2025.
To receive settlement benefits, class members who have not filed a valid claim form with the settlement must do so by July 31, 2025. Claimants who previously filed before the additional funds were added do not need to file an additional claim. They may update a previous claim by contacting the settlement administrator.
