About this data

Records come from the USDA FSIS Meat, Poultry and Egg Product Inspection Directory (public, updated weekly) joined to the FSIS Establishment Demographic Data supplement, filtered to establishments with a slaughter activity in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Plants that only process (no slaughter) are not included, nor are state-inspected plants, which each state publishes separately. Inspection status changes; confirm with the plant before hauling an animal.
