US shoppers who bought qualifying pork products for household consumption could claim part of a $117.065 million (£87.8 million) settlement, but they must submit a valid claim by 29 October 2026. The proposed settlement concerns allegations that pork producers conspired to restrict supply and raise prices, leaving consumers potentially paying more for everyday groceries.
The settlement is not a guaranteed refund, and the amount each claimant could receive remains unknown. The companies deny wrongdoing, and the court has not ruled that the defendants violated the law. The agreements will take effect only if the court approves them and they become final.
