Remember how bacon prices in the US were sky-high in 2014–2018? Turns out, maybe not without help from producers. Courts have approved settlements in a class action lawsuit over pork market collusion. If you lived in the States then and bought pork products for personal consumption, you might be among those eligible for a payout.
Who Is Included
You are included if you are an individual or entity that purchased any of the following pork products for personal consumption between June 28, 2014, and June 30, 2018:
- Raw pork bacon
- Raw pork chops
- Raw pork ribs
- Raw pork ham
- Raw pork loin
Important: purchases must have been made in the US. If you bought such products during this period, your rights may be affected.
What This Means in Practice
For most of us, this isn't about millions, but it's not pennies either. The payout amount depends on the quantity and types of products purchased. To get compensation, you need to file a claim. Deadline: December 9, 2026. If you don't file, you automatically waive your right to a payout but remain bound by the settlement (so you can't sue separately).
How to Check Your Rights
- Visit the official settlement website — usually there's a form to check eligibility.
- Prepare your data: purchase period, approximate quantities.
- Submit your claim online or by mail before December 9, 2026.
If you're not sure whether you bought products in this period, think: it's about personal consumption, i.e., regular grocery purchases. You don't need receipts — just an honest statement.
Conclusion
Even if you don't live in the US but bought pork there on a business trip or vacation — you may still be eligible. Check the terms on the official settlement website. It won't take long, and money, as they say, is never extra. And remember: always verify official sources to avoid scammers who collect data under the guise of payouts.
