About Pilgrim's Pride Corporation
Pilgrim's Pride Corporation operates a poultry plant at 1591 Broad Street in Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee, listed in the USDA FSIS directory under establishment number P1353. The federal record lists Poultry Processing and Poultry Slaughter as its inspected activities, with poultry as the species slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant in its small size class and places it in slaughter volume category 5.0, the top of the reported volume range, indicating substantial annual head counts rather than small-batch work. The grant of inspection date on file is May 21, 2021.
No custom-exempt activity is reported to FSIS, which means the establishment is not recorded as processing animals for return to individual owners. There is no website on file for this location, and no retail counter, cut and wrap service, or direct sales program is described in any source available here. Details beyond the federal record are not yet on file.
Secondary news and directory listings reference Pilgrim's Pride operations at several Chattanooga addresses, including 1298 Peeples Street and 1300 Market Street, so a caller should confirm which address corresponds to establishment P1353. Local news reporting from June and July 2026 states that Pilgrim's plans to close part of its Chattanooga poultry operations, tied to a reported $75 million investment in the company's Ellijay, Georgia facility, with a WARN notice cited as setting a September 25 closing date. Those reports are secondary and are not reflected in the federal record shown here, so current operating status should be verified directly with the company.
