Smithfield Fresh Meats Corp.

Smithfield Fresh Meats Corp. operates a USDA-inspected hog slaughter and meat processing facility at 22123 Highway 5 in Milan, Missouri, in Sullivan County. The establishment is listed with FSIS under establishment number M320M+V320, with a grant of inspection date of February 21, 2022. FSIS also records the doing-business-as names Smithfield Bioscience and Smithfield Pet at this location.

The federal record lists three activities at the plant: meat slaughter, meat processing, and export certification. Hogs are the only species reported slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classes the establishment as large and places it in slaughter volume category 4.0, the highest bands in the FSIS scale, where category 1 is under 1,000 head per year. No custom-exempt activity is reported, which means the plant is not listed as processing animals for return to individual owners under a custom exemption.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no directory or company text specific to this plant was available beyond the federal record and brief listing snippets. Details on retail sales, hours, ownership arrangements, and cut and wrap practices are not yet on file.

The federal record shows hogs as the only species slaughtered under inspection here, and no custom-exempt activity is reported, so the plant is not listed as offering custom processing for animals returned to their owners. Whether the plant buys or accepts livestock from independent producers, and on what terms, is not stated in the sources on file. Producers should contact the plant at (660) 265-4061 to confirm. FSIS classes the facility as large with a slaughter volume category of 4.0, which indicates high annual throughput.

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.
