Neogen Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over Alleged Misleading Statements
Neogen Corporation, a prominent player in the food safety and animal health sectors, finds itself embroiled in a class action lawsuit initiated by Levi & Korsinsky, LLP and Rosen Law Firm. The lawsuit claims that Neogen’s management misled investors about the integration of its operations with 3M Company's Food Safety Division between January 5, 2023, and June 3, 2025. Allegations include that Neogen portrayed the integration process as largely successful, despite inefficiencies that emerged during implementation. This alleged misrepresentation has raised concerns about the company’s transparency and its impact on investor trust.
The lawsuit highlights a pattern of communication from Neogen that appears to have downplayed significant operational challenges while projecting confidence in its growth trajectory. Initially, the company asserted that the integration was “off to a great start,” suggesting robust performance and profitability. However, as issues became apparent, management allegedly reassured investors without adequately addressing the underlying inefficiencies, potentially misleading stakeholders about the company’s operational health. This situation raises critical questions about corporate governance and accountability, particularly in the context of mergers and acquisitions within the highly regulated food safety industry.
Investors who experienced losses during this timeframe are urged to take action by September 16, 2025, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff or participate in the class action without incurring out-of-pocket expenses. Both law firms emphasize their strong track records in securities litigation, with Levi & Korsinsky boasting a history of recovering substantial amounts for shareholders and Rosen Law Firm highlighting its leadership in securities class action settlements. This lawsuit underscores the importance of investor rights and the necessity for companies to maintain transparency in their communications regarding operational performance and strategic initiatives.
In addition to the class action, both law firms stress the need for investors to engage with experienced legal counsel to navigate the complexities of securities litigation. The firms encourage potential class members to act promptly, given the looming deadline for filing claims. As Neogen navigates these legal challenges, the case serves as a reminder of the critical role that transparent communication plays in maintaining investor confidence and corporate integrity in the food safety and healthcare industries.
