What this settlement covers

Purchased eligible raw pork products (bacon, or fresh/frozen bellies, loins, shoulder, ribs, or pork chops) for personal use in certain U.S. states between June 28, 2014 and June 30, 2018.

The class covers people who purchased raw pork for personal use, not for resale, from June 28, 2014 through June 30, 2018, in 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 or West Virginia. The case is the Consumer Indirect Purchaser Pork Litigation.

What you can claim

  • A cash payment, estimated at $50, for covered raw pork purchases made during the class period.

How payment works

The payment is an estimate rather than a fixed amount, since the fund is shared among approved claims. Organic pork, pork labeled no antibiotics ever, and marinated, seasoned, flavored or breaded products other than bacon are excluded from the class.

Filing this claim

Pork Overcharges Class Action Settlement FAQs

Common questions about this class action settlement.

Which pork purchases count?

Raw pork bought for personal use rather than resale, between June 28, 2014 and June 30, 2018, in one of the 23 covered states or the District of Columbia. Excluded are organic pork, pork labeled no antibiotics ever, and marinated, seasoned, flavored or breaded products, with bacon the one exception to that last group.

Do I need receipts?

No. Claims can be filed without documentation of the purchases, which is the practical choice for a grocery case where nobody keeps four years of receipts. The class is defined state by state, so where you bought the pork is part of what determines eligibility.

Why is the class limited to certain states?

The claims are indirect purchaser claims, meaning the buyers are consumers rather than the wholesalers who bought from the producers. Only some states allow that kind of antitrust claim under their own laws, so the class covers the 23 states and the District of Columbia where the claim is available.

How much will I receive?

The estimate is $50. It is not a fixed amount: the fund is divided among the claims the administrator approves, so a high response rate lowers each payment. Payment follows final approval by the court and the resolution of any appeals, not the close of the claims period.

When is the deadline?

Claims must be submitted online at OverchargedForPork.com or postmarked by mail no later than October 29, 2026. The deadline is set by the court and cannot be extended by the administrator.

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.
