Peoria Packing LTD

Peoria Packing LTD holds federal establishment number M21651 at 8372 North 12000 East Road in Grant Park, Kankakee County, Illinois. The FSIS record lists meat slaughter and meat processing activities, hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection, a small size class, and a grant of inspection date of 2021-08-17. The plant's reported slaughter volume falls in FSIS category 4.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, which means animals brought in for a farmer's own freezer under a custom exemption are not part of the federal record here.

The company's website identifies the Grant Park address as its slaughter house, with a plant phone of (815) 465-9824 and an office line of (312) 226-2600. Separately, the site describes a butcher shop and a processing center, both listed at 4521 W. Roosevelt Road, Chicago, Illinois 60624, after a move from a prior downtown location. The website footer cites USDA Est. 21826 for that Chicago operation, a different number from the M21651 grant on file for the Grant Park slaughter site. The processing page describes federally inspected and HACCP approved pork slaughtering and processing facilities that handle multiple loads daily and can work to customer specifications for standard cuts or specialized fabrication.

Peoria Packing states it sells to distributors, independent supermarkets, supermarket chains, sausage manufacturers, and further processors, and that it supplies markets in the Caribbean, Asia, North America, Eastern Europe, and South America. It reports owning a fleet of refrigerated trucks and contracting with other refrigerated carriers for distribution in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Details beyond these points, including any farmer-facing booking process at the Grant Park slaughter site, are not on file.

The federal record lists Peoria Packing LTD, establishment M21651, as a small plant doing meat slaughter and meat processing, with hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection and a slaughter volume category of 4.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, so farmers seeking custom, not-for-sale processing should confirm directly whether that is available. The company website presents the Grant Park site as its slaughter house and describes the operation as a commercial pork slaughtering and processing business selling to distributors, supermarkets, sausage makers, and further processors. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in the sources. The slaughter house plant line is listed as (815) 465-9824 and the office as (312) 226-2600.

Peoria Packing LTD 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.

Household buyers are served through the company's full service retail butcher shop, which the website says moved to 4521 W. Roosevelt Road, Chicago, Illinois 60624, phone (312) 738-1800. The shop advertises a complete line of pork, beef, lamb, poultry, homemade sausage, smoked meats, fish, and other packaged perishables, with expert butchers who custom cut selections and whole pork, beef, lamb, or goat available to roast or package at home. The site states there are no limit buys, subject to supplies lasting, and promotes weekly specials. Online ordering, shipping to households, and half or quarter animal bundles are not described in the sources. The Grant Park address on the federal record is the slaughter house, not a listed retail counter.

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.
