Attention Minnesota & Wisconsin: Don’t Miss Out on Your Tuna Settlement Money

Ever feel like you're paying too much for your tuna salad sandwiches? Well, it turns out that you were right!

A bunch of big tuna companies, including StarKist and Chicken of the Sea, got caught red-handed trying to jack up the price of canned tuna. They were basically colluding to keep prices artificially high, and that's a big no-no in the world of fair competition.

Settlements Reached, Money for Consumers!

Now, after a lengthy legal battle, they're finally settling up. And that means some extra cash in your pocket if you bought canned or pouched tuna less than 40 oz. in size between 2011 and 2015 in Minnesota or Wisconsin!

The total settlement is a whopping $152.2 million! According to the press release about the settlement, "Both StarKist and Lion deny many of the allegations and have asserted defenses to the claims."

How Much Can You Get?

While it's not exactly a lottery win, you could get around $24.50 for every 200 cans you bought. Not bad for something you probably already had in your pantry.

It's a small victory for consumers, and a reminder that even big companies can be held accountable for their actions.
