Agri Stats has consistently denied wrong-doing in class-action lawsuits in the pork, chicken, turkey and beef industriesm, but in a court settlement in Minnesota it agreed to significant changes to its reporting practices if pork reports resume.
That settlement of a class-action lawsuit resulted in $212.2 million for consumers.
Triumph Foods is on the hook for $4.1 million.
The changes Agri Stats agreed to make include eliminating sales reports, removing certain plant-level data and restricting how subscriber information is shared.
The settlements followed earlier agreements with other defendants, including JBS, Smithfield, Tyson, Seaboard, Clemens Group and Hormel.
