Another Court Dismisses Claims Against Triumph Foods, New Mexico Ends Antitrust Lawsuit
October 6, 2025 | 2 min to read
Triumph Foods secured a zero-dollar resolution and dismissal of antitrust claims in New Mexico, becoming the only pork processor so far to receive such an outcome; Alaska earlier dismissed similar claims. Triumph’s CEO emphasized the farmer-owned company “broke away” in 2006, owning no hog production or sales and expanding supply, and the company expects further dismissals given the lack of evidence against it.
Triumph Foods is the only pork processor to receive zero-dollar resolution
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — The First Judicial District Court of New Mexico dismissed claims against Triumph Foods after the New Mexico Department of Justice agreed to a zero-dollar resolution, ending another antitrust case against the company that alleged pork processors used Agri Stats, Inc., to engage in price fixing of pork products in the United States.
Triumph Foods is the only pork processor in this litigation to receive a zero-dollar resolution in the action to date. In May, the State of Alaska also dismissed an antitrust case against Triumph Foods, including a zero-dollar resolution.
“With this latest dismissal of claims, once again another court and state Attorney General recognized that our farmer-owned company is different than other processors in the industry wrapped up in this litigation,” said Matt England, President and CEO of Triumph Foods. “We do not own or control any hog production assets or sales, and Triumph Foods broke away from the rest of the industry in 2006 to open new plants and expand pork supply – which is the exact opposite of the theories alleged in any of the price fixing antitrust litigation.”
Triumph Foods looks forward to additional dismissals or similar resolutions as there is no evidence to support the claims against Triumph.
