Tyson Foods has agreed to $221.5 million to settle all claims related to the long-running price-fixing lawsuits filed against Tyson and other poultry processing companies. This is the largest price-fixing settlement to date.
Settlement terms included the Direct Purchaser Plaintiff Class, the Commercial and Institutional Indirect Plaintiff Class, and the End-User Plaintiff Class. Tyson says they do not admit liability as part of the settlement, but believes the settlements were in the best interest of Tyson and its shareholders.
