A statement issued by Beef Products Inc. and the Roth family regarding the settlement of their libel and defamation case against ABC and Jim Avila

DAKOTA DUNES, S.D., June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- "We are extraordinarily pleased to have reached a settlement of our lawsuit against ABC and Jim Avila.  While this has not been an easy road to travel, it was necessary to begin rectifying the harm we suffered as a result of what we believed to be biased and baseless reporting in 2012.  Through this process, we have again established what we all know to be true about Lean Finely Textured Beef: it is beef, and is safe, wholesome, and nutritious.

This agreement provides us with a strong foundation on which to grow the business, while allowing us to remain focused on achieving the vision of the Roth and BPI family."
