Tyson Foods, Inc.

Tyson Foods, Inc. operates establishment P243 at 340 West Maple in Cumming, Forsyth County, Georgia. The federal record lists the plant for poultry slaughter and poultry processing, with poultry as the only species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment in its large size class and places it in slaughter volume category 5.0, the highest volume tier in the directory. The grant of inspection date on file is October 25, 2018. The establishment also does business under the names TSD Sales and Distribution, Tyson Poultry, Inc., and Tyson Sales and Distribution, Inc.

No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS for this establishment, which means the federal record does not show it processing animals owned by individual farmers or households for their own use. The website on file is the corporate Tyson Foods site, which describes the company as a protein-focused food company producing about 20 percent of the beef, pork and chicken in the United States, reporting 54 billion dollars in fiscal year 2025 sales and roughly 133,000 team members as of February 2026. That site describes brands including Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells and State Fair, and sales through retail grocery, club and discount stores as well as foodservice customers such as restaurant chains, schools, military bases and hospitals.

The corporate website does not describe operations at the Cumming location specifically, and no retail counter, hours, pricing, or custom slaughter information for this establishment appears in the sources on file. Details beyond the federal record and the corporate overview are not yet on file for this plant.

The federal record reports no custom-exempt activity at this establishment, and neither the FSIS listing nor the corporate website describes booking, minimums, fees, or cut and wrap services for individual livestock or poultry owners. This is a large-volume company-run poultry plant rather than a listed custom-exempt facility. Farmers looking for custom poultry processing would need to contact the plant directly at (770) 887-2344 to confirm whether any such work is done, since nothing in the sources states that it is.

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.

No retail counter, farm store, bundle, delivery, shipping, or online ordering option for this location is stated in the sources. The corporate Tyson Foods website describes products sold under the Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells and State Fair brands through grocery, club and discount stores, and to foodservice customers, but it does not indicate direct sales to households from the Cumming establishment.
