Grocery shoppers who bought raw pork or bacon in 24 states between June 28, 2014 and June 30, 2018 have until today, October 29, 2026, to claim a share of the $117 million pork price-fixing settlement. The claim needs no receipts and no notice ID, and after today no new claims can be filed.
Which States Qualify?
Only purchases made in these 24 jurisdictions count: Arizona, California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia.

October 29, 2026 is the deadline in the court-approved notice for everything in this settlement: online claims, mailed claims (which must be postmarked today), requests to opt out and objections. The notice does not give a cutoff time of day for online claims, so the date itself is the line. Once it passes, the claim window does not reopen.Free settlement alerts

Who Can Claim Today?
The class is people who bought raw pork for their own household use at a grocery store or supermarket, rather than directly from a pork processor, in one of the 24 states above between June 28, 2014 and June 30, 2018. Covered products are raw bacon of any kind, including smoked or seasoned bacon, and raw fresh or frozen cuts from the belly, loin, shoulder and ribs, such as chops, roasts, ribs and tenderloin. Organic and no-antibiotics-ever pork are excluded, as is any non-bacon product sold marinated, seasoned, flavored or breaded. The full settlement guide lists all 92 covered cuts.How the Claim Works Without Receipts
The claim form asks for an estimate of how much was spent on eligible pork during the class period, and the payment is a pro rata share of the fund scaled to that spending. No receipts, store records or notice ID are needed to file; the administrator may ask for support later. Claims are filed on the official settlement website, which is free to use.The settlement resolves claims that pork processors inflated pork prices through Agri Stats, production restraints and exports. Clemens, Hormel, Seaboard, Triumph and Tyson agreed to pay a combined $117,065,000 and Agri Stats agreed to business-practice changes; the companies deny wrongdoing and the court has not decided who is right. The final approval hearing is December 11, 2026, and no payment date has been set.
