Questions

How many hog slaughter plants does North Carolina have?

24 establishments in North Carolina carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 20 counties. 16 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.

What does the hogs flag mean?

Establishments with a slaughter flag for market swine, sows, roasters or feral swine. A plant that slaughters cattle does not necessarily take hogs; the flag is per species.

Are state-inspected plants included?

No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. North Carolina also runs a state meat inspection program whose plants can sell within the state; the state agency keeps that list, and the North Carolina buying guide explains how the two systems fit together.
