If you’ve ever purchased Deep River brand potato chips labeled “Non-GMO Ingredients” between February 2, 2017, and December 6, 2024, you may be eligible for a cash payout from a recent class action settlement. Even better? You don’t need proof of purchase to claim a monetary payment.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Deep River Snacks Settlement, including how to file your claim and how much money you could receive.
What Is the Deep River Chips Settlement?
A lawsuit was filed against Old Lyme Gourmet Co., the company behind Deep River Snacks, alleging that the “Non-GMO Ingredients” label on their chips was misleading. Plaintiffs argued that the labeling implied the products were certified by a third party, such as the Non-GMO Project, when they were not. The company denies these claims but has agreed to a $4 million settlement to avoid the cost of litigation.
Who Is Eligible?
You are eligible to file a claim if:
- You purchased Deep River brand potato chips with the “Non-GMO Ingredients” label between February 2, 2017, and December 6, 2024.
- The purchase was for personal or household use (not for resale).
You do not need proof of purchase to qualify, although having proof allows for a larger payout.
How Much Money Can You Get?
The amount you’ll receive depends on whether you have proof of purchase:
- Without Proof of Purchase:
- $5.00 for the first product.
- $0.50 for each additional product, up to 10 additional products.
- Maximum payout: $10.50 per household.
- With Proof of Purchase:
- $5.00 for the first product.
- $0.50 for each additional product.
- No limit on the number of products you can claim if you provide receipts or other proof.
Why You Should File a Claim (Even Without Proof)
This settlement offers a rare opportunity to claim money for everyday purchases without needing receipts. If you’ve ever grabbed a bag of Deep River chips over the years, you’re likely eligible to receive up to $10.50. The process is quick, free, and could put some extra cash in your pocket.
