Olson Meat Plant

Olson Meat Plant operates at 7301 Cutler Avenue in Orland, Glenn County, California, under USDA FSIS establishment number M21799. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter and meat processing, with hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classes the establishment as small and places it in slaughter volume category 3.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is March 29, 2019. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS.

The company website describes Olson Meat as a family business that has supplied pork and meat products to local businesses for generations, beginning as a small butcher shop in California and growing into a larger west coast meat processor. The site states the company uses state of the art technology and provides USDA certified products while operating with sustainable and humane practices. A products page exists on the site, but no specific cuts or items were captured in the text on file.

A secondary directory listing describes the plant as providing cattle, sheep, goat, and pig processing for the Sacramento Valley. That claim is not confirmed by the federal record, which reports hogs only as the species slaughtered under inspection. Buyers and producers should confirm current species accepted directly with the plant. Details beyond the federal record and the company website, including hours, pricing, booking practices, and retail sales, are not yet on file.
