How many very small slaughter plants does Ohio have?

What does the very small plants flag mean?

Establishments FSIS classes as Very Small, fewer than ten employees or under $2.5 million in annual sales. These are the plants that do custom work for households and cut for small farms, and the ones most likely to have a waiting list.

Are state-inspected plants included?

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