Tyson, which produces about 20 percent of U.S. beef, chicken and pork, has greenhouse gas emissions that exceed those of Austria or Greece. For over three years, Tyson had been promoting a commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and for over a year, it had marketed \u201cclimate-smart beef.\u201d Yet by all indications, Tyson has no credible plan to slash its staggering emissions, nor has it explained how its emissions-intensive industrialized beef could ever be a smart choice for the climate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumers are increasingly making purchasing decisions with their climate footprint in mind. Tyson exploited this trend by making outrageous and unsubstantiated claims about its products\u2019 sustainability that simply don\u2019t hold up under scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FarmSTAND, Animal Legal Defense Fund, Earthjustice, and Edelson PC represented the Environmental Working Group in a lawsuit targeting Tyson\u2019s deceptive claims under the DC Consumer Protection Procedures Act, which protects consumers from false advertising. The suit aimed to hold Tyson accountable for misleading consumers about the true nature of its products and their environmental costs. The lawsuit sought to stop Tyson from continuing to make these unsubstantiated environmental claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On November 17, 2025, the case settled. The settlement provides that Tyson will stop making these environmental claims and cannot make new related claims for a period of five years from the date of the settlement unless an expert concludes they are sufficiently supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-farmstand-case-resources farmstand-case-resources\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns post-inline-highlight open is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-a3abbf02 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-dark-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1\">Alegatos de bienhecho<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/farmstand.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Complaint-EWG-v.-Tyson.pdf\" data-type=\"attachment\" data-id=\"2597\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Complaint (EWG v.
