Smithfield Fresh Meats Corp.

Smithfield Fresh Meats Corp. operates a USDA-inspected establishment at 800 Industrial Drive in Denison, Iowa, in Crawford County. The plant holds establishment numbers M717, P19051, and V717, and does business under the names Smithfield Bioscience and Smithfield Pet. FSIS lists its activities as meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry processing, and export certification. The grant of inspection date on file is February 2, 2022.

The federal record classifies the establishment as large, with a slaughter volume category of 4.0, and reports hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, which means the plant is not listed as processing animals for return to their owners as individually owned meat. The listed telephone number is (800) 831-1812.

No website is on file for this establishment. Secondary directory listings repeat the location and describe the plant as a livestock and poultry processing operation, and general Smithfield Foods corporate pages reference pork production, but no facility-specific information about retail sales, booking, cut and wrap, or hours has been verified. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file.

The federal record reports hog slaughter and a large size class with a slaughter volume category of 4.0, so this is a high-volume plant rather than a small custom shop. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, and nothing on file describes booking procedures, minimums, scheduling, fees, or cut and wrap options for individual farmers. Producers interested in delivering animals would need to contact the plant directly at the listed number to learn whether it takes outside livestock, as listed.

Smithfield Fresh Meats Corp. 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.
