You may have been overcharged for chicken.
According to a notice authorized by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the prosecuting law firm said the court will hold a hearing to decide whether to approve the settlements on Dec. 20 and this must occur before any money can be paid out. The total possible payout to consumers is still being finalized.
In another settlement, Perdue Farms and Tyson Foods agreed to pay out $35 million following a lawsuit that accused them of fixing prices paid to the farmers who raise chickens, reported. The lawsuit, filed by Alabama farmers, claimed that the setup caused them to go deep into debt as they tried to build and maintain chicken barns that met company standards. Perdue and Tyson agreed to the settlement without admitting any wrongdoing.
"While Perdue Farms denies the allegations of wrongdoing in the complaint and was prepared to vigorously defend against such allegations, the settlement of this lawsuit is in the best interest of our company and our network of dedicated farmers," a spokesperson for Perdue told TODAY in an email.
