Henry Kohn Inc. t/a Burlington Beef

Henry Kohn Inc., trading as Burlington Beef, operates at 30 Burlington Road in Monroeville, Salem County, New Jersey, under FSIS establishment number M8850. The federal record lists the plant for both meat slaughter and meat processing, with cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb reported as species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as small and places its slaughter volume in category 2.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is July 20, 2021. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the packages marked Not for Sale, as well as retail-exempt sales.

The company website describes Burlington Beef as a family-owned wholesale and retail market and food distributor handling beef, chicken, pork, and turkey, with more than 50 years of experience in the beef industry and now in its third generation of family involvement. Note that the species list reported to FSIS covers cattle, hogs, and sheep and lamb; the poultry and turkey products described on the website are not part of the slaughter species reported in the federal record.

The website states the retail store is open to the public on a first come, first serve basis, and that customers can select from display cases and have meat cut to order. Beyond retail, the site says the business serves large food processors, restaurants, pet food manufacturers, and food trucks. Specific custom slaughter booking procedures, fees, and cut and wrap terms are not stated in the sources on file.
