Pilgrim's Pride Corporation

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation operates establishment P476 at 616 Kingsbridge Road in Carrollton, Carroll County, Georgia. The federal record lists the plant for poultry slaughter and poultry processing, with poultry as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as large and places it in slaughter volume category 5.0, the highest of the reported volume bands. The grant of inspection date on file is May 6, 2022. No custom-exempt activity is reported, meaning the establishment is not listed as doing custom slaughter or processing for individual owners of animals.

The corporate website describes Pilgrim's as a global provider of poultry, pork, and prepared foods with more than 61,000 team members, 39 fresh processing facilities and 30 prepared foods facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Europe, and brands sold in more than 100 countries. The site states the company has supplied products for more than seven decades and partners with more than 6,800 family farms for poultry, hog, and lamb supplies. Corporate headquarters are listed at 1770 Promontory Circle, Greeley, Colorado, with a general contact line of (970) 506-8000 and wecare@pilgrims.com. A secondary business listing gives a founding year of 2007 for the Carrollton location, which the company website does not confirm.

The company website does not describe the Carrollton plant specifically, and no retail counter, hours, price list, or per-farm booking information for this location is on file. Details beyond the federal record and the corporate website are not yet on file.

The federal record reports no custom-exempt activity at this establishment, so it is not listed as slaughtering or processing animals for individual owners. The corporate website states Pilgrim's partners with more than 6,800 family farms for poultry, hog, and lamb supplies, which indicates a contract grower model rather than fee-for-service processing. Growers or producers interested in supply arrangements would need to contact the plant at (770) 214-3214 or the corporate offices; no booking process, minimums, or fees are stated in the sources.

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation 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.

Nothing in the sources indicates a retail store, farm store, bulk halves or quarters, online ordering, or direct shipping at the Carrollton plant. The company describes itself as selling fresh and value-added poultry under recognized brands to retailers, restaurants, and foodservice providers, so household buyers would encounter its products through grocery and foodservice channels rather than at the plant.

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.
