Chicken-processing giant Tyson Foods Inc. has settled a consumer class action
brought over its controversial Raised Without Antibiotics advertising
campaign.
Under the agreement filed Tuesday night in U.S. District Court in Baltimore,
individual consumers will receive as much as $50 each. The cost to Tyson is $5
million, with $600,000 of that amount set aside to cover administrative costs.
An attorney for the class called the agreement a meaningful settlement that has
real value and not just a 50-cent-off coupon placed in the Sunday paper.
