JBS, Swift Beef Co. and other beef processors agreed to a $52.5 million class action settlement to resolve claims that they worked together to engage in direct purchaser product price-fixing.

According to plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit, beef-processing companies conspired to raise and fix the price of beef products. As a result of the conspiracy, direct purchasers were allegedly forced to pay high prices for beef.

JBS is a food company that sells meat under various brands, such as Pilgrims, Swift, Primo and Great Southern.

JBS and its affiliates haven’t admitted wrongdoing but agreed to pay $52.5 million to resolve the antitrust class action lawsuit.
