Questions

How many poultry slaughter plants does North Carolina have?

19 establishments in North Carolina carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 12 counties. 1 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.

What does the poultry flag mean?

Establishments with a slaughter flag for chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese or other birds under the Poultry Products Inspection Act. Small flocks also have federal exemptions (the 1,000 and 20,000 bird exemptions in 9 CFR 381.10) that do not appear here because no grant of inspection is involved.

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.
