Evangel International Foods

Evangel International Foods operates at 2727 Westside Dr. in Pasadena, Harris County, Texas, under USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service establishment numbers M51245 and P51245. The federal record lists the plant for meat slaughter, meat processing, and poultry processing, with a grant of inspection on file dated July 19, 2021. FSIS classes the establishment as very small.

The only species reported to FSIS as slaughtered under inspection is sheep and lamb. The plant's FSIS slaughter volume category is 1.0, meaning under 1,000 head per year. The establishment also reports custom-exempt slaughter, in which animals owned by the customer are processed and the resulting packages are marked Not for Sale.

No website is on file for this establishment, and no website text was available. Search listings place the business in Pasadena with a supermarket category on one directory and describe livestock and poultry processing serving the greater Houston area on another; one listing gives a founding year of 2013, which is earlier than the 2021 grant of inspection date in the federal record. Details beyond the federal record, including retail sales, pricing, scheduling, and cut and wrap practices, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists sheep and lamb as the only species slaughtered under inspection, at a volume of under 1,000 head per year, so producers of other species should confirm directly whether their animals can be handled. The plant also reports custom-exempt slaughter, meaning it will process animals a customer already owns, with packages marked Not for Sale and not eligible for resale. Booking procedures, lead times, minimums, kill fees, and cut and wrap charges are not stated in any source on file. Nothing in the record indicates whether the plant is currently accepting work.

Evangel International Foods 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.
