Halal International Processing

Halal International Processing operates at 462 Kelly Road in York, South Carolina, in York County, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M19825 and P19825. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection dated July 18, 2013. FSIS classifies the establishment as very small, and its reported slaughter volume category is 2.0, above the smallest tier of under 1,000 head per year.

Species slaughtered under federal inspection, as reported to FSIS, are cattle and sheep and lamb. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it will process animals owned by the customer, with the resulting packages marked Not for Sale. The listed phone number is (803) 684-9248.

The website on file is Zabihah, a third party halal directory rather than a site operated by the plant, and it carries a listing for the establishment without operating details in the text reviewed. Secondary business directory snippets describe the business as a 100 percent Muslim owned USDA inspected halal meat operation. Beyond the federal record and those brief listings, details such as hours, pricing, cut and wrap options, and retail sales are not yet on file.

The federal record shows cattle and sheep and lamb slaughtered under inspection, plus custom-exempt slaughter of animals the customer already owns, with those packages marked Not for Sale. FSIS lists the plant as very small with a slaughter volume category of 2.0. Booking procedures, lead times, kill day schedules, minimums, hanging weight pricing, and cut and wrap terms are not stated in the sources on file, so a producer would need to call (803) 684-9248 to confirm what the plant handles and whether it is taking work.

Halal International Processing reports custom-exempt slaughter to FSIS, which means it can process an animal a customer already owns (a whole, half, or share bought before slaughter) and return it in packages marked Not for Sale. Most small farms have one or two plants they book with, and the plant's calendar decides the delivery date.
