Case Foods Data Breach Settlement

The class covers people whom Case Foods notified that their Private Information was potentially compromised in the October 2024 data breach.

• The notice excludes Case Foods and related entities and officers, valid opt-outs, government bodies, the parties’ lawyers, assigned judges and their immediate families, and anyone found criminally responsible for causing or assisting the breach.

The two cash benefits are alternatives. Credit monitoring may be elected with either cash choice.

• Up to $2,000 for documented, unreimbursed losses caused by the breach.
• Or a $45 alternative cash payment without documentation.
• Two years of one-bureau credit monitoring with either cash option.

Submit receipts or other records not prepared by you that show the qualifying cost. A handwritten receipt or other self-created record can clarify other proof but cannot support the claim by itself.

• The loss must be caused by the data breach and not already reimbursed.
• The notice lists examples such as fraud losses, credit-freeze or report fees, replacement IDs, bank fees, postage, mileage, and certain monitoring or identity-theft coverage.

Submit a valid Claim Form online or by mail no later than January 17, 2027. A mailed form and any required supporting records must be postmarked by that date.

• Use the settlement website for an online form or a printable form.
• You may also request a paper form from the Settlement Administrator.

Elect the service on a valid Claim Form. It lasts two years and uses one credit bureau.

• After final approval and resolution of any appeals, the administrator will send eligible claimants an enrollment code.
• Credit monitoring may be chosen with either cash option.

Mail a signed exclusion request postmarked by December 18, 2026.

• Include your name, address, telephone number, email address, and a clear statement that you want to be excluded.
• Opting out means no settlement benefits, but it preserves any right to sue Case Foods yourself about the released issues.

A class member who does not opt out may object in writing by December 18, 2026. The notice lists the information the objection must contain and where copies must be sent.

• Objecting tells the Court why you think it should not approve some or all of the settlement.
• An objection does not remove you from the settlement.

The final approval hearing is scheduled for January 11, 2027 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time in Room 3 of the Iredell County court in Statesville, North Carolina. The date or time may change.

• You do not have to attend.
• Benefits are distributed only after final approval and resolution of any appeals.

You will receive no settlement benefit. Unless you opt out, you will also give up the right to bring or participate in another lawsuit against Case Foods about the claims released by the settlement.
