Overview
- The Superior Court of Quebec approved a Canada-wide class-action settlement on April 17, 2026 and the claims process opened Friday with Concilia Services Inc. accepting submissions.
- The settlement fund totals $7.5 million to be shared among approved claimants, not the $7.5 billion figure that appeared in at least one report and is contradicted by official notices.
- Claimants can seek tiered compensation that ranges from about $400 for short, non-hospitalized symptoms up to $300,000 for deaths, with higher awards for hospitalization, severe complications, or permanent harm.
- Submitting a claim requires supporting evidence that grows stricter with the payout level, from proof of purchase or a sworn declaration for minor claims to detailed medical records for serious injuries.
- Public Health Agency of Canada data show the outbreak was linked to refrigerated plant-based beverages recalled on July 8, 2024 and that it was associated with 20 reported illnesses, 15 hospitalizations and three deaths, while defendants deny liability.
