Tyson Foods, Inc.

The Wilkesboro, North Carolina plant at 704 Factory Street is listed in the USDA FSIS directory under establishment numbers M7478 and P1, operated by Tyson Foods, Inc. The federal record shows the company doing business under several names, including Delightful Farms, Gold Leaf, Holly Farms, Howard County, Prospect Farms, TSD Sales and Distribution, Tyson Farms, Inc., and Tyson Sales & Distribution, Inc. FSIS lists the activities as poultry slaughter and poultry processing, with poultry as the only species slaughtered under inspection. The grant of inspection date on file is November 18, 2020, and FSIS classifies the establishment in its largest size class, with a slaughter volume category of 5.0.

No custom-exempt activity is reported for this establishment, meaning the federal record does not show it processing animals for return to their owners. The website on file is the Tyson Foods corporate site, which describes the company at a national scale rather than this location. That site states Tyson Foods reported $54 billion in fiscal year 2025 sales, employed roughly 133,000 team members as of February 2026, and produces approximately 20 percent of the beef, pork, and chicken in the United States, selling under the Tyson, Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Ball Park, Wright, Aidells, and State Fair brands. The corporate site also identifies Tyson Foods as a protein supplier to national restaurant chains, schools, military bases, hospitals, nursing homes, and retail channels including club, grocery, and discount stores.

Details specific to the Wilkesboro operation, such as hours, plant-level services, booking practices, or retail sales at the plant, are not stated on the corporate website and are not yet on file here. Secondary search listings reference a Tyson Foods Inc Family Store at 1600 River Street in Wilkesboro, a separate address from the inspected establishment; that store is not part of the federal record for M7478+P1 and its offerings are not documented in the sources reviewed.
