Chicken Price-Fixing Class Action Settlement FAQs

Common questions about this class action settlement.

Who was covered?

Anyone in the United States who bought a chicken product between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2020. The class was defined by the purchase rather than by a brand or a state, and the class period covers twelve years.

What was the case about?

Price fixing among chicken producers. The claim was that producers coordinated to restrict supply and hold prices up, which would have made every downstream purchase more expensive. Cases of this kind are antitrust claims rather than labeling claims, which is why the class is defined by the product category rather than by a brand.

Was proof of purchase required?

No. Claims could be filed without receipts. Requiring documentation across twelve years of grocery shopping would have excluded essentially the whole class, so the settlement accepted a self certified claim with a capped payment.

When will I get paid?

Payment timing is set by the settlement administrator, not Sparrow. Administrators usually pay after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved, which can take several months or longer after the claim deadline.
