The Ohio State University

The Ohio State University holds federal grant of inspection under establishment numbers M40342 and P40342 at 2029 Fyffe Road in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio. The federal record lists four inspected activities: meat slaughter, meat processing, poultry slaughter, and poultry processing. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and its reported slaughter volume falls in the lowest category, under 1,000 head per year. The grant of inspection date on file is October 14, 2021.

Species reported to FSIS as slaughtered under inspection are cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and poultry. The establishment reports retail-exempt sales and does not report any custom-exempt activity, which means the federal record shows no custom slaughter or processing for owners of animals. The listed phone number is (614) 292-9217.

No website is on file for this establishment and no establishment-specific web text was available. Search results returned general information about the university campus rather than the meat plant. Details beyond the federal record, including hours, pricing, booking practices, product lists, and whether retail sales are open to the public, are not yet on file.

The federal record shows inspected slaughter of cattle, hogs, sheep and lamb, and poultry at this location, with a reported volume of under 1,000 head per year and a very small FSIS size class. No custom-exempt activity is reported, so the federal record does not indicate custom slaughter or cut and wrap for an animal owner's own use. Booking procedures, scheduling lead times, minimums, fees, and cut and wrap options are not stated in any source on file. A producer would need to contact the establishment directly at (614) 292-9217 to learn whether outside animals are accepted.

The Ohio State University 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.

The establishment reports retail-exempt sales to FSIS, which indicates some level of direct retail activity, but no source on file describes a retail counter, hours, product selection, bundles, halves or quarters, online ordering, delivery, or shipping. Households interested in buying would need to contact the establishment directly to confirm what, if anything, is available for sale.

If you are buying a half or quarter animal, the plant is where the animal is processed; the farm sells you the animal. Read how to buy a half cow for the sequence and the math.
