About Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc.

Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. operates a beef plant at 3105 North IBP Road in Holcomb, Finney County, Kansas, under FSIS establishment numbers M278 and V278. The federal record lists the establishment under several names, including IBP, Inc. and Tyson Foods, Inc. FSIS records the plant's activities as meat slaughter, meat processing, and export certification, with cattle as the only species slaughtered under inspection. The grant of inspection date on file is October 15, 2020.

FSIS classifies the establishment as large and places it in slaughter volume category 4.0, the top of the reported range and far above the category for plants handling under 1,000 head per year. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, meaning the federal record does not show slaughter or processing of animals returned to their owner outside of inspection. A Kansas tourism listing describes the site as a former IBP beef packing plant employing about 3,000 people and slaughtering roughly 6,000 head per day, and a chamber of commerce listing repeats the company's general statements on food safety, environmental stewardship, and animal welfare.

This establishment has no website on file with the registry, and no retail counter, custom booking, cut and wrap terms, or direct sales information is documented in the available sources. Details beyond the federal record and these secondary listings are not yet on file. The phone number in the federal record is (620) 277-4201; a third-party directory lists (620) 277-2614.
