Midwestern Pet Foods agreed to pay $6.375 million to resolve claims it sold pet food with dangerous levels of aflatoxin and salmonella contamination. No proof of purchase is necessary for certain types of claims in the Midwestern Pet Foods settlement.<\/span><\/p>\n

The settlement benefits individuals who purchased one or more recalled pet food products made by Midwestern Pet Foods or Nunn Milling Co. A <\/span>full list<\/b><\/a> of included products is available on the settlement website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span>pet food class action lawsuit<\/b><\/a>, Midwestern Pet Foods sold products contaminated with dangerous levels of aflatoxin \u2014 a <\/span>carcinogenic toxin<\/b><\/a> produced by fungi found in corn and other crops. The food products, which were later recalled, also contained salmonella bacteria, the plaintiffs contend.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Midwestern Pet Foods sells pet food products under several <\/span>brand names<\/b><\/a>, including Sportmix and Earthborn Holistics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Midwestern Pet Foods hasn\u2019t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $6.375 million settlement to resolve the recalled food class action lawsuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive compensation for pet injuries and consumer food purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fully documented pet injury claims will be reimbursed in full, up to $150,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pet owners who cannot document their pet injuries but instead declare these injuries can receive $75 for pets that became ill but didn\u2019t die and $150 for pets that died.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Class members whose breeding businesses were affected by pet injuries can receive additional compensation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additional pet injury compensation may be available above the $150,000 limit if there are residual settlement funds. Smaller payments may also be increased on a pro rata basis if there are residual funds. Payments may be increased up to three times their original value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Class members can also receive compensation for their purchases of recalled Midwestern Pet Foods products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Claimants who provide documentation such as receipts, invoices, shipping order forms, confirmation emails or other proof of purchase can receive 100% refunds of their purchase prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Class members who do not have proof of purchase can claim up to two bags of food at a rate of $25 per product for a maximum payment of $50.<\/span><\/p>\n

All payments may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the settlement fund is not sufficient to cover all injury and consumer purchase claims.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Aug. 3, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Aug. 21, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Aug. 3, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
