A maximum of one claim form may be submitted per household, with or without proof of purchase, the settlement website specifies. Wheat Thins settlement payments may be adjusted on a pro rata basis should the total value of all approved claims exceed the amount of money available in the settlement fund. 

In addition, the class action settlement calls for defendant Mondelēz International to not use the representation “100% WHOLE GRAIN,” either by itself or before the brand name Wheat Thins, without other qualifiers on product packaging for the items listed on this page. 

A final approval hearing for the Wheat Thins settlement is scheduled for December 11, 2025. It is typically after a class action settlement receives final approval from the court, and any appeals are resolved, that settlement money begins to go out to eligible class members. 

The Wheat Thins settlement website notes that the $10 million deal resolves only Wallenstein, et al. v. Mondelez Int’l., Inc., et al., pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Two other open class action lawsuits filed over similar Wheat Thins label claims remain pending.
