TreeHouse Foods Waffle & Pancake Recall Settlement

The TreeHouse Foods Waffle & Pancake Recall Settlement resolves claims related to a nationwide recall of frozen breakfast products due to the potential presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The recall included a wide list of waffle and pancake products sold under multiple store brands. TreeHouse Foods agreed to a $4 million settlement fund to reimburse consumers who purchased affected items during the recall period. Consumers may receive cash payments by filing a claim, even if they do not have proof of purchase. Claimants with no receipts may request compensation for up to two eligible products per household based on the average retail price plus a 10% tax allowance. Those with proof of purchase (such as receipts, digital orders, loyalty statements, or transaction records) may request reimbursement for all eligible products purchased, including full taxes paid. All payments are pro-rata, meaning the exact payout will be based on the total number of valid claims submitted. Consumers who previously requested or received refunds from TreeHouse Foods for these recalled items will have those amounts deducted from their settlement award. This settlement is intended to compensate consumers for economic losses and is separate from any regulatory recall obligations.
