Ga Dong Nai

Ga Dong Nai (Gà Đồng Nai) is a small poultry establishment at 14329 Lund Carlson Road, #23, in Coupland, Travis County, Texas. It holds federal establishment number P34438 with a grant of inspection on file dated July 19, 2021, and reports both Poultry Slaughter and Poultry Processing activities to FSIS. Poultry is the only species reported as slaughtered under inspection. FSIS classifies the plant as small and places it in slaughter volume category 3.0. No custom-exempt activity is reported in the federal record.

The company website describes Gà Đồng Nai as a Vietnamese-owned chicken brand founded in 2000 by Dương Minh Dũng, who began by raising a small flock and selling to friends and acquaintances before building out farms and a processing line. The site states that birds are raised on a natural grain-based feed for 16 weeks, that packaged chickens are sold with feet, neck, and head intact for Vietnamese and other Asian household and holiday cooking, and that as of March 2023 the brand distributed to all 50 states at a stated output of 20,000 birds per day. The site also states that processing and packaging are carried out under USDA supervision.

Buyers should note two points of divergence between records. The federal record lists a phone number of (512) 577-7343, while the website contact pages list (512) 785-4841. The website's stated daily volume of 20,000 birds is a company claim; FSIS lists the establishment only as small and in slaughter volume category 3.0. Retail hours, pricing, and any service for outside livestock owners are not stated in the sources on file.

The website presents Gà Đồng Nai as a brand sold through Vietnamese markets, supermarkets, and restaurants rather than describing a retail counter at the Coupland plant. Households are directed to the company as a supplier of whole chickens packaged with feet, neck, and head for everyday cooking and for holiday and Tet meals. Online ordering, shipping to individual households, retail hours, and prices are not stated in the sources on file.

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.
