A federal judge in Chicago has granted final approval to a $32 million class-action settlement between direct turkey purchasers and Cargill Inc. and Cargill Meat Solutions, ending a portion of a long-running antitrust lawsuit accusing major producers of price-fixing.
The judge said the settlement is “fair, reasonable, and adequate” under federal class action rules and dismissed all claims against Cargill with prejudice.
The class-action lawsuit continues against other turkey processing companies.
