GREENSBORO, N.C. — What you had for dinner 10 years ago could get you a few bucks. There’s a class action lawsuit against several beef processing companies (JBS, Cargill, National Beef, and Tyson Foods) claiming they conspired to limit the supply of beef and increase prices between 2014 and 2019. The lawsuit is claiming $87 million in damages.
The class action suit lists 26 states and the District of Columbia as where the beef was sold including Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
