The website on file for this record, butterfield-foods.com, presents Butterfield Custom Foods, a private label food production and co-packing company that describes its location as 635 Westfield Road, Noblesville, Indiana, with phone (317) 776-4775. That site describes custom soups, sauces, entrees, side dishes, cooked proteins, hand pulled meat products, sandwiches, casseroles, and quesadillas produced in a 60,000 square foot plant, and states the company was originally established in 1981 as a grocery store commissary and acquired by Violi Foods LLC in 2007. It lists USDA inspection, HACCP, SQF 2000 Level 3 certification since 2011, on-site microbiological testing, and gluten-free, halal, and kosher assembly. Those statements describe the Indiana operation and are not confirmed by the federal record for the Butterfield, Minnesota address.

Secondary directory listings for the Butterfield, Minnesota location describe a company founded in 1970 that supplies ready-to-cook whole chickens to the food industry, including wingless fronts and split product. Those listings are secondary sources and are not part of the federal record. Details specific to the Minnesota plant, including species handled, whether any retail sales or farmer-facing custom work occur, and hours, are not yet on file here beyond what the federal record states.
