JJ Meats Company

JJ Meats Company operates at 25699 Ave. 5 1/2 in Madera, California, in Madera County, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M4969 and P4969. The federal record lists meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, and poultry processing activities. FSIS classifies the plant as very small, with a grant of inspection date on file of August 16, 2021.

Species slaughtered under inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it processes animals owned by the customer with packages marked Not for Sale. Both halal and kosher slaughter are reported. The FSIS slaughter volume category is 2.0, one step above the smallest category of under 1,000 head per year.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no website text was available. Listings appear on third party directory and review sites, and a Facebook page exists under the JJ Meats name, but those sources do not supply verifiable operating details. Hours, pricing, booking practices, cut and wrap options, and retail offerings are not yet on file beyond the federal record.

The federal record lists both federally inspected slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter, so a producer could in principle bring animals for either resale-eligible or personal-use processing, with custom work packaged and marked Not for Sale. Cattle and sheep and lamb are the species reported as slaughtered under inspection, and poultry slaughter and processing are also listed. Halal and kosher slaughter are both reported, which may matter to producers serving those markets. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, cut and wrap charges, and hanging or cooler capacity are not stated in any source on file. Producers should contact the plant at (559) 284-5800 to confirm what work it is taking, as listed.

JJ Meats Company 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.
