BEF Foods, Inc.

BEF Foods, Inc. operates at 640 Birch Road in Xenia, Ohio, in Greene County, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment number M6785. The federal record lists the plant for both Meat Slaughter and Meat Processing, with hogs reported as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the establishment in its Small size category and shows a grant of inspection date on file of November 24, 2020. The plant's reported slaughter volume category is 3.0, above the smallest FSIS tier of under 1,000 head per year.

No company website is on file for this establishment, and details beyond the federal record are not yet documented here. Secondary search results connect the Xenia location to Bob Evans Farms, Inc., including an FSIS notice describing a recall of approximately 4,200 pounds of pork sausage product from a Xenia, Ohio establishment, and a Bob Evans grocery page describing the Xenia plant as one of four Bob Evans Farms production facilities. Those associations come from third party pages rather than from a site maintained by the establishment itself.

The federal record reports no custom-exempt activity at this establishment, which means work done for individual farm customers under a custom-exempt grant is not part of its listed activity. Buyers and producers should contact the plant directly at (937) 372-4494 to confirm current activity, since listing in the FSIS directory does not indicate that the plant is open to new work.

The federal record lists this plant for hog slaughter and meat processing under federal inspection, with no custom-exempt activity reported, and places it in FSIS slaughter volume category 3.0. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. A producer considering hauling hogs here would need to call (937) 372-4494 to learn whether the plant takes outside animals at all, since secondary sources describe the site as a production facility associated with Bob Evans Farms rather than a service slaughterhouse.

BEF Foods, Inc. 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.
