The lawsuit targeted practices involving meat, poultry, pork, seafood, and organic citrus fruits sold nationwide.
While Walmart refutes the claims, it opted for a substantial settlement to resolve the matter. Eligible customers who made purchases between October 19, 2018, and January 19, 2024, at Walmart stores in the United States or Puerto Rico may qualify for compensation.
Payment amounts vary based on factors like proof of purchase, with potential sums ranging from $10 to $500.
The deadline for claims submission is June 5.
