How much will I actually get from the Mid America Pet Food (Salmonella Recall) settlement?

When does the Mid America Pet Food (Salmonella Recall) settlement pay out?
Settlement checks typically arrive 3-9 months after the filing deadline (February 5, 2026), once the judge grants final approval at the fairness hearing. Track your specific claim status by logging into the settlement administrator's portal.
What if my pet got sick?
Separate from the $20-per-bag attestation tier, the settlement allows higher recovery for documented out-of-pocket veterinary costs from confirmed salmonella illness. Keep vet records if you plan to claim that tier.
I bought the food but threw away the bag. Can I still file?
Yes — the no-proof tier doesn't require the bag, lot number, or any documentation.
