$5.5 million Mid America Pet Food Settlement 2025 : Eligibility, Claim Form, and Payout Details

If you are a pet owner in the United States, then you are eligible for a payout from the Mid America Pet Food Settlement if you have purchased a Mid America Pet Food product between October 31, 2022, and February 29, 2024. It makes you qualify for coverage of your purchase price and/or veterinary bills.

However, this pet food lawsuit settlement was reached after several pet food recalls in 2023 related to potential Salmonella contamination. The affected products were manufactured by Mid America Pet Food, LLC (MAPF), the company that manufactures popular brands such as Victor Super Premium Pet Food, Wayne Feeds, Eagle Mountain, and Member’s Mark.

The settlement aims to compensate pet owners who purchased or used these recalled products and suffered the loss of their pets due to illness or death. Submit your claim before February 5, 2026, to secure your share.

What is Mid America Pet Food Settlement About?

In 2023, Mid America Pet Food voluntarily recalled several dog and cat food products potentially contaminated with Salmonella. The recall included products manufactured at the company’s Mount Pleasant, Texas, factory and sold nationwide before October 31, 2024.

Following these recalls, a class action lawsuit alleged that MAPF sold unsafe products and failed to provide consumers with adequate warnings. While the company denied any wrongdoing, it agreed to a $5.5 million settlement to resolve and settle the claims.

Mid America Pet Food Settlement Eligibility Requirements

You may be eligible if:

  • You must be a resident of the United States and have purchased one or more of the recalled Mid America Pet Food products.
  • The purchase was made between October 31, 2022, and February 29, 2024.
  • You bought the food for your own pet (not for resale).

Note – if you own a dog or cat, you both may be eligible if they purchased brands like Victor, Eagle Mountain, Wayne Feeds or Members Mark that were recalled.

Mid America Pet Food Settlement Payment Amount & Payout

The Mid America Pet Food settlement arose from the contamination of certain pet food products. As part of the lawsuit, a $5.5 million settlement has been set aside to compensate customers who purchased the affected products or have sick pets.
