How Much Does the Waffle Recall Settlement Pay?
Last updated April 29, 2026 · By Class Action Buddy
The Waffle Recall Settlement pays a maximum of $25 per household that purchased affected Eggo and Kellogg waffle products during the specified timeframe. The exact payout amount depends on the total number of valid claims submitted, as the settlement fund will be divided proportionally among all eligible claimants.
Most claimants can expect to receive the full $25 maximum payment, as waffle recall settlements typically don't reach claim volumes that would trigger significant reductions. No proof of purchase is required for claims under $25, making the process straightforward for consumers.
The settlement covers various Eggo waffle products that were subject to recall due to potential contamination or quality issues. Payments will be distributed via check or electronic payment once the settlement receives final court approval and all claims are processed.
Background on the Waffle Recall Settlement
The Waffle Recall Settlement stems from a class action lawsuit filed against Kellogg Company regarding defective Eggo waffle products that were subject to recall. The lawsuit alleged that consumers purchased waffle products that were contaminated or otherwise unsafe for consumption, leading to financial losses and potential health risks.
Kellogg faced multiple consumer complaints about waffle products that had quality control issues, prompting both voluntary recalls and regulatory action. The company was accused of failing to maintain proper manufacturing standards and not adequately warning consumers about potential contamination risks.
The settlement was preliminarily approved by the court in 2024, allowing affected consumers to file claims for monetary compensation. This agreement resolves all claims related to the waffle recall without Kellogg admitting any wrongdoing or liability in the matter.
Who Is Eligible?
You're eligible to file a claim if you purchased any recalled Eggo or Kellogg waffle products in the United States between the specified dates covered by the settlement. The exact purchase window varies depending on when specific product lots were manufactured and distributed to retailers.
