Closed to new claimsConsumer / OverchargeWalmart $45 Million Weighted Groceries Settlement: Payout Status
Last updated: July 15, 2026
The Walmart weighted groceries settlement is a $45 million class action settlement resolving claims that Walmart Inc. overcharged shoppers on groceries sold by weight. The lawsuit alleged that Walmart inflated the weights or mislabeled the prices of weight-priced meat, poultry, pork, and seafood, and of bagged citrus such as oranges and grapefruit sold in bulk mesh bags, so customers paid more than the shelf price. The claim deadline has passed — it closed on June 5, 2024 — so no new claims are accepted. Shoppers who filed a valid claim received between $10 and $25 without a receipt, or up to $500 with proof of purchase.
The case, Kukorinis v. Walmart Inc. (Case No. 8:22-cv-02402-VMC-TGW, U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida), covered anyone in the United States or Puerto Rico who bought the affected weighted groceries or bagged citrus at a Walmart store between October 19, 2018 and January 19, 2024. Walmart denied any wrongdoing and agreed to settle. The court held its final approval hearing on June 12, 2024, and payments were distributed to valid claimants after approval. The settlement is administered at walmartweightedgroceriessettlement.com.
