The website on file is the corporate Pilgrim's sustainability report site, which describes Pilgrim's as a provider of poultry, retail-ready, and prepared foods, and identifies JBS as the parent company. That site covers company-level sustainability goals, governance, and priority areas including animal welfare, product integrity, water, and team member health and safety. It does not describe operations, products, or ordering at the Cold Spring establishment specifically.

Secondary search listings reference a Pilgrim's story about an expansion of the Cold Spring plant that was reported to add roughly 130 jobs, about a 10 percent increase in employment, and a directory listing that describes Gold'n Plump Poultry as established in 1926 and producing all-natural fresh chicken products for grocery stores and delicatessens. A June 2026 news report describes the death of a worker at the Cold Spring chicken processing plant. Details beyond the federal record and these company-level pages, including retail sales, custom work, and hours, are not yet on file.
