Islamic Meat & Poultry Co.

Islamic Meat & Poultry Co., doing business as International Meat & Poultry, operates at 1320 S. Aurora Street Suite B in Stockton, San Joaquin County, California. The plant holds establishment numbers M4928 and P4928 and is listed with USDA FSIS for meat slaughter and meat processing, with a grant of inspection date on file of July 23, 2021. FSIS classifies it as a very small establishment. Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle and sheep and lamb. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages are marked Not for Sale.

The plant reports an FSIS slaughter volume category of 2, one step above the smallest category, which covers plants harvesting under 1,000 head per year. No website is on file for this establishment. Third party directory listings describe the business as a wholesale halal meat supplier operating since 1986, using the phrase "Halal Teyeb Because We Care," and one listing notes that it is wholesale. A processor booking directory lists the company as a custom processor handling beef. These points come from secondary listings rather than from the establishment itself.

Details beyond the federal record and these secondary listings, including hours, pricing, cut and wrap options, scheduling procedures, and whether a retail counter exists, are not yet on file.

The establishment is listed with FSIS for both slaughter and processing of cattle and sheep and lamb, and it reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning a producer can have animals they own harvested with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS lists the plant as very small with a slaughter volume category of 2. One processor booking directory lists the company as a custom processor for beef with online harvest slot booking, though that claim comes from a third party site rather than the establishment. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill day schedules, hanging and aging arrangements, cut sheet options, and fees are not stated in the sources on file. Producers should contact the plant at (209) 462-8022 to confirm availability, species accepted, and terms.

Islamic Meat & Poultry Co. reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.

Secondary directory listings describe the business as a wholesale halal meat supplier, and at least one listing states plainly that it is wholesale. Whether the plant sells to households at a retail counter, offers halves or quarters, bundles, delivery, shipping, or online ordering is not stated in any source on file. Households interested in buying should call (209) 462-8022 to ask what, if anything, is available directly.

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.
