Proof Required?
Major beef producers Tyson and Cargill have agreed to pay $87.5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging they artificially inflated beef prices. The lawsuit claims these companies conspired to reduce beef production and fix prices, causing consumers to pay more for beef products at grocery stores. If you purchased certain beef cuts from grocery stores between August 1, 2014 and December 31, 2019, you may be eligible to receive money from this settlement. The agreement resolves claims without the companies admitting wrongdoing.
