Nuniwarmiut Reindeer & Seafood Products

Nuniwarmiut Reindeer & Seafood Products is a federally listed establishment at Airport Road in Mekoryuk, Alaska, in the Bethel Census Area. It carries FSIS establishment number V27393 and appears in the USDA FSIS directory under Voluntary Processing, Meat, and Voluntary Slaughter, Meat, with a grant of inspection date on file of October 6, 2020. FSIS lists the size class as not applicable, and species detail is not reported to FSIS. No custom-exempt activity is reported in the federal record.

Voluntary inspection is the program used for species that are not covered by mandatory federal inspection, which in Alaska commonly includes reindeer. The plant name references reindeer and seafood, but the federal record does not confirm which species are handled, and no website text is available to confirm it. A secondary directory listing describes the operation as offering slaughter and processing services in Mekoryuk serving the wider Bering region.

The establishment maintains a Facebook page at facebook.com/nrspmekoryuk, but no page text was available for this record. Hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, retail sales, and shipping are not stated in any source on file. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file for this establishment.

The federal record lists both voluntary slaughter and voluntary processing for meat, so the plant is set up for both kill and further processing as listed. Species handled are not reported to FSIS, and no custom-exempt activity is reported, meaning any work described in the federal record falls under voluntary federal inspection rather than a custom exemption. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging or chilling capacity are not stated in any available source. The plant is on Nunivak Island, so producers should confirm access and animal delivery logistics directly by calling (907) 827-8015.

Nuniwarmiut Reindeer & Seafood Products operates under a federal grant of inspection, so product from this plant can be sold anywhere in the United States, which matters if you sell online or across a state line. FSIS does not list a custom-exempt activity for this plant.

No retail counter, freezer inventory, bundle, delivery, or shipping information is stated in the sources on file. One secondary business directory classifies the operation under meat markets, but that classification is not confirmed by the establishment or by the federal record. Households interested in buying should contact the plant at (907) 827-8015 or through its Facebook page to ask what is available.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
