BEF Foods, Inc.

BEF Foods, Inc. operates a USDA-inspected meat plant at 200 North Wolcott Street in Hillsdale, Michigan, in Hillsdale County. The establishment is listed under FSIS establishment number M952, with a grant of inspection dated October 6, 2021. FSIS records the plant as carrying out both meat slaughter and meat processing, with hogs as the species slaughtered under inspection.

FSIS classifies the establishment in its small size class and places it in slaughter volume category 3.0, meaning it reports more head per year than the smallest category, which covers plants under 1,000 head annually. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, so the federal record does not indicate that the plant handles animals for individual owners outside federal inspection.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no company-published description was available. Secondary listings identify the site as a pig slaughterhouse and associate the BEF Foods name with Bob Evans Farms, and one directory describes the plant as providing slaughter and processing services to livestock producers. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, ownership specifics, product lines, retail sales, and booking practices, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists BEF Foods, Inc. as a small establishment performing hog slaughter and meat processing under federal inspection, in slaughter volume category 3.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, which means the plant is not recorded as offering custom processing where meat is returned to the animal's owner for personal use. Booking procedures, scheduling windows, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. A producer considering hauling hogs here would need to contact the plant directly to confirm whether it takes outside animals and on what terms, as listed.

BEF 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.
