HK Cooperative, Inc.

HK Cooperative, Inc., doing business as J.H. Routh Packing Company, operates a federally inspected meat plant at 4413 W. Bogart Rd in Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio. The establishment carries FSIS establishment numbers M818 and V818 and is listed with a grant of inspection dated May 7, 2020. FSIS classifies it as a small establishment.

The activities on file with FSIS are meat slaughter, meat processing, voluntary processing of meat, and export certification. The only species reported as slaughtered under inspection is hogs. The plant's slaughter volume category is 4.0 on the FSIS scale, which places it well above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year. No custom-exempt activity is reported, which means the federal record does not show slaughter or processing of animals returned to an owner for that owner's private use.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no website text was available. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, retail sales, pricing, cut and wrap options, and booking procedures, are not yet on file. Farmers and households should call (419) 626-2251 to confirm what the plant handles.

The federal record lists hogs as the only species slaughtered under inspection, and shows meat slaughter and meat processing activities under establishment numbers M818 and V818. The reported slaughter volume category of 4.0 indicates a plant handling well over 1,000 head per year rather than a small custom shop. No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, so animals brought in for a farmer's private use are not part of the recorded activity. Booking practices, minimums, fees, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. Producers should call (419) 626-2251 to ask what the plant accepts.

HK Cooperative, 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.
