What's the Quaker Food Recall Settlement?

If you purchased certain Quaker products, such as Chewy Bars, Granola, Oatmeal, Frito-Lay Chips and Snacks, Cap'n Crunch, and more, you might be owed cash from a $6,750,000 class action lawsuit. After a wide-reaching consumer food safety recall in late 2023 - 2024, The Quaker Oats Company has settled a class action to pay out consumers who bought certain Quaker foods.

The class action lawsuit was settled over allegations that the Quaker Oats Company engaged in deceptive marketing and labeling practices related to a recall of products potentially contaminated with Salmonella. You can still file a claim separately in the Quaker Oats recall directly with the manufacturer, but this class action settlement is a way to get paid back for your purchase.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

The Quaker Oats recall class action settlement is worth $6.75 million. The settlement fund will be used to pay valid claims and fees.

Why was the Class Action Lawsuit Filed?

In December 2023 and January 2024, Quaker recalled some of its food products because they might have been contaminated with Salmonella, a harmful bacteria. Quaker offered to pay back customers who bought the affected products.

After this recall, a class action lawsuit was filed, alleging that the Quaker Oats Company used misleading marketing and labeling, and claiming that Quaker may not have properly warned people that some products might have Salmonella. These lawsuits have been combined into one big case. Quaker says it did nothing wrong and denies all the accusations, even though it has settled the nearly $7 million class action lawsuit. The settlement is not an admission of guilt, and Quaker has agreed to pay the settlement to avoid the costs and risks of going to trial.
