Class action settlement for beef purchases 2014-2019 - claim form [View all]

Anyone who bought beef between 2014-19 may be due a portion of an $87.5 million settlement paid by U.S. beef processors who were accused of engaging in a “price-fixing” scheme. These types of suits are generally big bux for the lawyers, and pennies for the consumers, but hey, every penny counts these days.

You can use ChatGPT or other AI to estimate the numbers for you or your family:

In 2015, U.S. beef prices averaged around $6 per pound, with specific cuts like choice beef hitting about $6.34/lb at retail and ground beef around $5.60/lb, while per-person consumption dropped to a low of about 54 pounds, making it a relatively expensive time for beef despite lower overall intake


This is an antitrust class action lawsuit that claims several beef processors—including JBS, Cargill, National Beef, and Tyson Foods—conspired to limit the supply of beef and increase prices in the market.
