McDonald’s Corporation has settled its lawsuit against Cargill Meat Solutions, but is continuing to pursue its lawsuit against other meat packers it accuses of conspiring to fix prices.
The two companies agreed to shoulder their own legal costs.
“Cargill has been a partner to McDonald’s for more than 45 years, and we value that partnership,” said Cesar Piña, senior vice president and chief supply chain officer for McDonald’s USA. “This settlement results in a dismissal of McDonald’s claims only as to Cargill as the case continues against the other defendants.”
