What is the Sprouts Farmers Market FACTA Settlement?
If you used a credit card, debit card, or EBT card at any Sprouts Farmers Market grocery store in the United States between August 2020 and April 2023 and received a receipt that printed more than the last five digits of your card number, you may be eligible for a cash payment from a $5 million class action settlement. The deadline to file a claim is August 5, 2026.The lawsuit alleged that Sprouts violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), a federal law that requires businesses to truncate card numbers on receipts to protect consumers from identity theft. Sprouts disputes the allegations and denies that it violated FACTA. The Court did not decide who is right or wrong. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the uncertainty and cost of further litigation, including pending appeals.
What is Sprouts Farmers Market?
Sprouts Farmers Market is one of the largest specialty natural and organic grocery chains in the United States. The company is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona and was founded in 2002 in Chandler, Arizona by members of the Boney family, whose roots in the grocery business trace back to a fresh-fruit stand opened in San Diego in 1943.As of early 2026, Sprouts operates approximately 477 stores across 24 states, including California, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Texas, and Georgia, with plans to open more than 40 new locations in 2026. The company employs approximately 35,000 workers. Sprouts recently opened its first New York location.
Sprouts stores are designed with an open layout that puts fresh produce at the center of the store. The chain specializes in natural, organic, and minimally processed foods, including fresh produce (around 200 varieties of organic produce), bulk foods, vitamins and supplements (about 7,500 products per store), meat and seafood, baked goods, and its own private-label brand with more than 2,400 items. The company says that 90% of its products are free of artificial flavors, food coloring, preservatives, and synthetic ingredients.
This settlement involves the receipts Sprouts printed when customers paid with credit cards, debit cards, or EBT cards at checkout. Federal law limits how much of your card number can appear on those receipts, and the lawsuit claims Sprouts printed too many digits.
What is FACTA and Why Does It Matter?
FACTA stands for the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. It is a federal law passed by Congress in 2003 as an amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. One of FACTA's key consumer protection provisions deals with credit card and debit card receipts.Under FACTA, any business that accepts credit or debit cards and provides an electronically printed receipt to the customer must not print more than the last five digits of the card number on that receipt. The business also cannot print the card's expiration date on the receipt. This rule exists to reduce the risk of identity theft and credit card fraud. If a thief finds a discarded receipt that shows a full or nearly full card number, they could potentially use that information to make fraudulent purchases.
Before FACTA, it was common for store receipts to show long strings of card digits or even the full card number. FACTA changed that by requiring truncation, meaning the receipt can only display the last five digits with the rest replaced by asterisks or other symbols.
The law allows consumers to sue businesses that violate the truncation rule. Statutory damages range from $100 to $1,000 per violation, plus the possibility of punitive damages and attorney fees. This has led to numerous class action lawsuits against retailers, restaurants, and other businesses that failed to properly truncate card numbers on receipts.
This lawsuit alleges that Sprouts printed more than the last five digits of customers' credit card, debit card, and EBT card numbers on checkout receipts during the class period.
Who Qualifies for the Sprouts Settlement?
You are a member of the settlement class if you used your personal credit card, debit card, or EBT card at any Sprouts grocery store within the United States during the following periods and received a receipt that printed more than the last five digits of your card number:Credit and debit cards (excluding EBT): August 16, 2020 through October 31, 2022
EBT cards: March 15, 2021 through April 15, 2023

How Much Money Will I Get?
Sprouts has established a non-reversionary cash fund of $5,000,000. After deducting attorney fees ($1,666,666.67), litigation costs (up to $75,000), enhancement payments to the class representatives ($20,000 total), and administration costs (up to $661,000), the remaining net fund will be divided equally among all class members who submit valid and timely claims.The exact payment per person depends on how many people file claims. Each eligible class member receives one equal share regardless of how many qualifying transactions they made. Settlement checks expire 180 days after they are issued. Any uncashed funds will be redistributed to claimants who cashed their first check, and any remaining amount after a second round goes to the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

You simply attest that at least one transaction in the records was made with your personal card. No receipt or statement is needed.
If you did NOT receive a notice, you must submit a Claim Form-R with proof. You can provide either a copy of your Sprouts receipt showing more than five card digits from the class period, or a copy of your card statement showing a Sprouts transaction during the class period (with all other information redacted except your name, address, and the Sprouts transaction details).

Two class action lawsuits were filed against Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and SFM, LLC. The first case, filed by Larry Tran (Case No. 22STCV26572), and the second by Robert Cohen (Case No. 23STCV08339), were consolidated in May 2023 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.Both lawsuits alleged that Sprouts printed more than the last five digits of customers' credit card, debit card, and EBT card numbers on electronically printed receipts, violating FACTA. Sprouts challenged both complaints and the Court initially dismissed them. The plaintiffs appealed, and the parties reached this settlement during the appeals process. The Court of Appeal then sent the cases back to the trial court for settlement approval.
Sprouts denies that it violated FACTA and does not admit any wrongdoing as part of this settlement. As part of the agreement, Sprouts will also implement a written company policy ensuring it will not print more than the last five digits of any card number or the card expiration date on customer receipts going forward.
