Questions
How many kosher slaughter plants does Tennessee have?
3 establishments in Tennessee carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 3 counties. 3 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.
What does the kosher flag mean?
Establishments whose FSIS record carries the religious exemption flag for kosher slaughter under 9 CFR 313.1. As with halal, the flag is reported capability, not supervision; kosher supervision is a separate arrangement with a certifying agency.
Are state-inspected plants included?
No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Tennessee has no state meat inspection program, so federal inspection and the custom exemption are the two routes available.
