Tyson Foods has agreed to pay $85 million to settle claims that it conspired with rivals to inflate pork prices, the largest settlement to date in a series of antitrust lawsuits targeting major U.S. meat producers.
The agreement, filed in federal court in Minneapolis, brings total consumer recoveries in the litigation to $208 million. Other companies, including JBS, Hormel Foods and Smithfield Foods, have previously reached deals, with Smithfield paying $75 million in 2022.
