Tyson Foods, Inc.

Tyson Foods, Inc. operates a poultry slaughter and processing establishment at 442 Plant Street in Waldron, Arkansas, in Scott County. The plant is listed in the USDA FSIS directory under establishment numbers P768 and V768, with FSIS activities covering poultry slaughter, poultry processing, and export certification. FSIS classifies the establishment as large and places it in slaughter volume category 5.0, the highest volume tier in the agency's scale. The grant of inspection date on file is December 6, 2021. The federal record also lists the doing-business-as names TSD Sales and Distribution, Tyson Poultry, Inc., and Tyson Sales and Distribution, Inc.

The website on file is the corporate site for Tyson Foods, which describes the company as a multi-national, protein-focused food company producing approximately 20 percent of the beef, pork, and chicken in the United States, with brands including Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells, and State Fair. The company reports fiscal year 2025 sales of 54 billion dollars and approximately 133,000 team members as of February 2026. It describes itself as a supplier to national restaurant chains, schools, military bases, hospitals, nursing homes, international customers, and all major retail distribution channels.

The corporate website does not publish plant-level detail for the Waldron location, and no retail counter, custom processing, hours, or direct-to-consumer sales are described for this establishment. Details beyond the federal record and the corporate description are not yet on file. A separate Tyson Foods page references a Waldron feed mill, which is a distinct facility from the inspected slaughter plant.

No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS for this establishment, and nothing in the sources describes booking, drop-off scheduling, kill fees, cut and wrap, or acceptance of animals from independent producers. This is a large-volume company plant, listed by FSIS in the highest slaughter volume category. Farmers seeking custom or private-label poultry processing should contact the plant directly at (479) 637-2121 to ask what, if anything, is available, since the sources do not address it.

Tyson Foods, Inc. 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.
