Chicken Class Action Settlement (January 1, 2012 – July 31, 2019)

A settlement of $181 million has been reached in the Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation and many readers should be eligible to participate.

Who Is Eligible?

If you purchased raw chicken in the United States from January 1, 2012 through July 31, 2019 to participate in this lawsuit. Chicken marked as halal, kosher, free-range or organic is excluded. Must have purchased the chicken in California, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island (after July 15, 2013), South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin

How Much?

At the moment the settlement pool is $181 million, but at this stage no money will be distributed yet as some chicken producers are yet to settle.

Important Dates

  • Claim Period Begins September 11, 2021
  • Claim Deadline April 3, 2023
  • Exclusion Deadline April 4, 2023

Our Verdict

Don’t think this one will payout for a long time considering that they are still taking action against some of the chicken producers yet to settle. Although the terms state that might be subject to a separate settlement.
