Pork companies may soon be reaching into their piggy banks.  

Millions of Americans who bought pork products could be eligible for a share of a whopping $117 million class-action settlement over allegations that prices were raised unfairly.

The settlement impacts buyers who indirectly purchased qualifying raw pork products between June 28, 2014, and June 30, 2018.

That could potentially include bacon that shoppers picked up at the grocery store, as well as pork products like pork bellies, loins, shoulders, ribs and pork chops. 

The case stems from allegations that big-name processors plotted to increase pork prices by limiting supply and using industry data to influence the market.

The companies involved, including Agri Stats, Clemens, Hormel, Seaboard, Triumph, Tyson and Smithfield, among others, denied the allegations. 

As a result, however, the settlements resolve the litigation without a trial or deciding whether or not they're at fault.

'The court has not ruled that the defendants did anything wrong, and the companies deny any allegations of wrongdoing,' the settlement's website states.

The current settlements total a staggering $117.065 million to be shelled out to consumers. 

While a handful of companies agreed to pay millions, there is no set amount of money that each impacted person will receive. 

Eligible consumers who file valid claims will receive a share of the settlement based on the number of people who submit claims and the amount of pork they bought.    

The settlement applies to consumers in a whopping 25 states, including New York, California, Florida, Illinois and Michigan.

Not every pork product qualifies, either. Organic pork and products labeled 'no antibiotics ever' are excluded, as are certain pork products that were marinated, seasoned, flavored or breaded.

Consumers who believe they qualify have until October 29 to submit a claim.

And even though part of the form asks for 'purchase information,' buyers do not have to enter a receipt from years ago. 

The website confirms, 'you do not need to provide any documentation at this time. However, the Settlement Administrator may ask for additional information or documentation to support your claim.'

After buyers submit their claim online, they will receive a confirmation email with a unique code - the website says to keep both the email and the code for the time being. 

Customers can also submit their claim by mail, if they choose. 

There have also been earlier settlements in the case involving JBS and Smithfield totaling $95 million, but the deadline to claim money from those settlements has already passed.

Meanwhile, Agri Stats agreed to certain business-practice changes but is not making a cash payment as part of the settlement.
