Beef Price Fixing Settlement

About the Case

Tyson Foods and Cargill have agreed to an $87.5 million settlement — $55 million from Tyson and $32.5 million from Cargill — to resolve claims that they conspired with other major beef processors including JBS and National Beef to fix prices and limit competition in the beef market.

The lawsuit alleges these companies entered into a market allocation agreement to stop competing against each other, artificially inflating the price consumers paid for beef at the grocery store.

If you purchased fresh or frozen beef products between August 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019 to feed yourself, family, or friends — not for resale — you may be entitled to a cash payment. No receipt or proof of purchase is required to Submit.

  • You purchased beef products between August 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019
  • You bought the beef for personal, household, or family use (not for resale)
  • You purchased from a retailer or grocery store (not directly from a processor)
