About Smithfield Fresh Meats Corp.

Smithfield Fresh Meats Corp. operates a USDA-inspected plant at 2223 Industrial Road in Crete, Saline County, Nebraska, under establishment number M717CR+P717CR. The federal record lists the facility for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classes the plant as large, and its reported slaughter volume category is 4.0, the highest of the volume bands used in the directory, indicating a high-throughput commercial operation rather than a small local abattoir.

The establishment is listed under a long roster of doing-business-as names associated with Smithfield Foods and its predecessor companies, including Farmland Foods, John Morrell, Armour, Eckrich, Gwaltney, Patrick Cudahy, and Smithfield Packaged Meats Corp. The grant of inspection date on file is June 18, 2019. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, which means the plant is not recorded as doing custom slaughter or processing for individual owners of animals.

The website on file, smithfieldfoods.com, returned only page titles and policy pages when fetched, so no plant-specific descriptions of products, services, or ordering were available from it. A secondary search snippet describes Farmland Foods as founded in 1959 and offering pork, bacon, ham, and sausage, but that describes the corporate brand rather than this Crete location specifically. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file.
