WASHINGTON (SBG) — Anyone who bought chicken or any chicken products in the U.S. in the last decade could be eligible to receive money.
In the "Broiler Chicken Antitrust Litigation" lawsuit, prosecutors alleged that several companies conspired to fix the prices and supply of chicken, according to PR Newswire. In doing so, they directly violated the federal, state consumer, and antitrust laws.
Those who purchased any chicken products such as fresh or frozen raw chicken, whole cut-up birds purchased within a package or "white meat" parts from the following companies: Fieldale Farms Corporation ("Fieldale"); George's Inc. and George's Farms, Inc. ("George's"); Mar-Jac Holdings, Inc. ("Mar Jac"); Peco Foods, Inc. ("Peco"); Pilgrim's Pride Corporation ("Pilgrim's"); and Tyson Foods, Inc. ("Tyson"), between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2020, could be eligible for payments. However, those who purchased chicken marketed as halal, kosher, free-range, or organic, are excluded from the settlement.

Customers who bought chicken products from these companies in the following states also qualify for the settlement: California, Washington D.C., Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and Wisconsin. Customers who purchased chicken in Rhode Island after July 15, 2013, also qualify for a claim.
In settling the dispute, these companies are expected to pay a total of $181 million to resolve all claims against them and their associates.
According to PR Newswire, the total payout amount will be finalized by December 20, 2021, at 9 a.m.
