A US appeals court has unanimously upheld a ruling that clears Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., a subsidiary of Tyson Foods, of any wrongdoing in a long-running cattle pricing lawsuit, the company has stated.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a decision made last year to reverse a jury verdict against Tyson. The appeals court upheld the decision that Tyson did not violate the law through its supply agreements with independent cattle producers and Tyson has legitimate business reasons for entering into such agreements.
