StarKist and Lion Capital agreed to pay $3.875 million in a tuna settlement to resolve claims that they conspired to raise and fix the price of foodservice-size tuna products.
The settlement benefits individuals and entities that purchased Foodservice-Size Packaged Tuna Products (40 oz. or greater) directly from DOT Foods, Sysco, US Foods, Samโs Club, Walmart or Costco between June 1, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2016.
According to the tuna price-fixing class action lawsuit, StarKist and Lion Capital conspired with other tuna manufacturers to raise and fix the price of foodservice-size packaged tuna products. Purchasers claim that they were forced to pay a higher price for these products due to this alleged conspiracy.
StarKist is a canned tuna brand. Lion Capital is the former owner of Bumble Bee, another canned tuna brand.
The tuna companies havenโt admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay a combined $3.875 million to resolve the price-fixing class action lawsuit. StarKist will contribute $3.6 million to the settlement fund, while Lion will contribute $275,000.
Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a pro rata share of the net settlement fund based on the amount they paid in eligible purchases during the class period. Class members who received postcard notices showing their qualifying purchase values will receive payments based on these values. Class members who received postcard notices without qualifying purchase values will receive no payment from the settlement.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Aug. 30, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the tuna price-fixing settlement is scheduled for Nov. 15, 2024.
No claim form is required to benefit from the tuna settlement. Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive settlement payments.

If you are 75, you havent learned much of nothing. You are like the KROLL Company, they WASTE EVERYONEโS TIME asking them to file for a class action ONLY if they mailed you a code and so on, Knowing dam well that they do not have your address. But it is just another way for KROLL Settlement Adminstration to take all of the EXTRA $100000000000000000 of money because only a handfull have received a code or ? it is bullsh!!!!!!!!!!! eVERYONE NEEDS TO File lawsuits against KROLL. They are so unethical, and communistic that it is high time for their day to show up in court. We finally have 4 attorneys that are investigating their actions and unethical procedures on filing class action settlements, when it says you do not need proof, and go thru the process only to be denied by Kroll so that Kroll can keep the extra money!
unethical Attorney,
Bwahahaha! The tuna fixing suit is NOT for consumers personal use. Did you read, AND UNDERSTAND, who can file a claim (rhetoric, no answer needed).
You want to see Kroll? File it! Iโll be the first to sign.
It may be you want to sue TCA because they arenโt listing any free monies that you are eligible for? Oh wait, you care not if your eligible or not. Itโs free right. bwahahaha!
Get a life pal.

15 freaking pages of comments and like always, 99% of the comments are all you clueless, embarrassingly dumb people saying the same thing, โADD ME!โ Or the other annoying comment you all use โIโVE BEEN/ MY FAMILY HAS BEEN BUYING _______ FOR MANY YEARS, PLEASE ADD ME!โ
Seriously, I donโt know if itโs because all of you are 100 freaking years old and the last 25yrs youโve been to stupid to keep up with the very basic way the internet and technology works. But seriously if you all would use BASIC COMMON SENSE for one damn second and ask yourselfโฆ
โhmm why would I type โADD MEโ in the comments, who am I even asking, a LOT of people work with this company, and most importantly WHY WOULD I THINK ANYONE WHO READS THIS KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT ME, HOW WOULD THEY ADDME??โ
Alright you daft, ancient, old dummies
Understand what Iโm saying?? Youโre saying โADD ME!โ to people who have never met you, know NOTHING about you and most importantly, canโt fill out claims for you, only the person who wants to claim canโฆ So stop being unbelievablely thick and fill out the claim form like everyone non stupid person does. And if you donโt know where and how? Then concider this your wakeup call and punishment for never understand the basics of the internet.
Hey smarty pants, Iโm 75 years young! Iโve never commented with โadd me.โ
I believe those doing it are morons like you. You never take your ugly face off the 6 cell phones 3 tablets, and 2 laptops that educate you on ethical treatment of humans. You are in another world. Bite my wrinkled old a$$!
I believe, I have the necessary paperwork to fill out and, file ?
Thank you,
Lisa W.
