USDA and Cargill Meat Solutions have reached a settlement agreement on a violation of the Packers and Stockyards Act that occurred in March of 2022. Cargill self-reported that its beef grading cameras were installed incorrectly, resulting in inaccurate yield grades at its four fed cattle plants. Cargill compensated all sellers for any underpayment using incorrect yield grades. Cargill must pay a civil penalty of $155,000.
