Canadian Settlement Status
On April 17, 2026, the Superior Court of Quebec approved the settlement. The deadline to submit a claim is October 16, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST.
Eligibility and Benefits
The Settlement applies to the following Class Members:
All persons in Canada who purchased or ingested the Silk Canada Products or Great Value Products subject to the Recall initiated by Danone Canada on July 8, 2024, including those who have suffered any Personal Injury as a result thereof, and their successors, assigns, family members, and dependants (the “Class”).
Under the Settlement Agreement, “Personal Injury” means any physical and/or psychological harm.
Class Members who satisfy the eligibility criteria set out in Section 4.4 of the Settlement Agreement may be entitled to benefits that will be calculated based on the category of Illnesses they belong to described in the Compensation Grid.
Until all claims have been adjudicated, it will not be possible to determine the exact value of the compensation that may be paid to eligible Claimants.
If you are a Class Member as defined above, you may be eligible for compensation if you submit a Claim Package to the Claims Administrator with related medical, pharmaceutical, and other records, if applicable. You (or your legal or estate representative) or a Family Claimant must satisfy the Claims Administrator that:
- the Claim relates to a Primary Claimant who has ingested a Product in Canada;
- the Primary Claimant experienced an Illness;
- the Primary Claimant ingested a Product contemporaneous with their Illness, as required in the Compensation Grid; and
- the Primary Claimant did not already receive compensation from Danone Canada for having experienced an Illness following the ingestion of a Product.
Supporting documentation to establish the ingestion of a Product and the experience of an Illness necessary for compensation eligibility is outlined in the Compensation Grid.
To be eligible for compensation as a family member of a Primary Claimant, evidence must be provided of the requisite relationship.
