The $5 million Sprouts Farmers Market class action settlement received preliminary approval from the court on December 8, 2025 and covers all individuals in the United States who received an electronically printed receipt at the point of sale that displayed more than the last five digits of the card used for a transaction’s payment between August 16, 2020 and October 31, 2022 for credit and debit cards, and March 15, 2021 through April 15, 2023 for EBT cards.

The settlement agreement estimates that approximately 3,351,078 credit and debit cards, including EBT cards, were impacted during the class period.

The court-approved website for the Sprouts Farmers Market settlement can be found at SettleInfo.com.

According to the website, Sprouts settlement class members who file a valid, timely claim form are eligible to receive a one-time, pro-rated cash payment from the settlement. The final amount of this payment, the agreement states, will depend on the number of valid claims filed and the amount remaining in the net settlement fund after payment of attorneys’ fees, settlement administration costs and lead plaintiff service awards.

Class members who file a valid claim form will receive their payment from the settlement via check; the agreement notes that all checks must be cashed within 180 days of issuance before they expire.  

The settlement site explains that two claim forms are available, and class members can determine which form applies to them based on the information provided on their received copy of the settlement notice.  

Sprouts class members whose settlement notice number starts with the letter P, the settlement site says, can head to this page and enter their notice number and email address to log into the Short-Form Claim Form.

The agreement says that class members who did not receive a notice or do not otherwise have a notice number starting with the letter P can head to this page and complete Claim Form-R. Alternatively, class members may also download a PDF of Claim Form-R from the settlement site to print, fill out and return by mail to the address of the settlement administrator listed on the third page of the document.

When completing the claim form, class members will need to provide all relevant information, such as name, address and contact information. Additionally, class members must submit proof of purchase with either a Sprouts receipt or a credit/ debit card statement showing the transaction.

All Sprouts Farmers Markets settlement claim forms must be submitted online or by mail by August 5, 2026.

Finally, as part of the settlement, Sprouts has also agreed to implement a written company policy stating that it will cease printing more than the last five digits of any card number on receipts provided to customers after making a purchase.

The court will determine whether to grant final approval to the Sprouts Farmers Markets settlement following a hearing on November 19, 2026. Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been resolved.

The Sprouts Farmers Markets class action lawsuit alleged that the grocery chain wrongfully printed more than the last five digits of a customer’s credit, debit and EBT card on receipts received after a transaction in violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, which is an amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
