Pilgrim's Pride Corporation

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation operates a poultry plant at 928 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Nacogdoches, Texas, listed in the USDA FSIS directory under establishment numbers P206 and V206. The federal record lists poultry slaughter, poultry processing, and export certification activities, with a grant of inspection date on file of May 24, 2021. FSIS classifies the plant in its largest size class and places it in slaughter volume category 5.0, the highest volume tier in the directory. No custom-exempt activity is reported.

The website on file is the corporate site for Pilgrim's, which describes itself as one of the world's largest producers of poultry, pork, and prepared foods, with more than 61,000 team members, 39 fresh processing facilities and 30 prepared foods facilities across the U.S., the U.K., Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Europe. The company states it partners with more than 6,800 family farms for poultry, hog, and lamb supplies and sells branded fresh and value-added poultry products in more than 100 countries. Corporate headquarters is listed as 1770 Promontory Circle, Greeley, CO 80634.

The corporate site does not publish facility-level information for the Nacogdoches plant. Details such as retail sales, hours, individual farmer intake, or specific product lines produced at this location are not on file beyond the federal record. Secondary directory listings associate the company generally with products such as eggs, wings, chicken strips, and chicken breast sandwiches, but these are company-wide descriptions rather than confirmed output of this establishment.

The federal record reports poultry as the only species slaughtered under inspection here, and no custom-exempt activity is reported, meaning the plant is not listed as doing custom processing where the animal is returned to its owner. Pilgrim's states at the corporate level that it partners with more than 6,800 family farms for poultry, hog, and lamb supplies, but the sources do not describe any grower contracting, scheduling, or intake process specific to the Nacogdoches plant. A producer interested in supply arrangements would need to contact the company directly.

Pilgrim's Pride Corporation 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.
