Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc.

Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. operates a federally inspected beef plant at 13983 Dodd Road in Wallula, Walla Walla County, Washington. The establishment is listed with FSIS under establishment numbers M9268 and V9268 and also does business as IBP, Inc. and Tyson Foods, Inc. FSIS records the plant's activities as meat slaughter, meat processing, and meat identification, with cattle as the species slaughtered under inspection. The grant of inspection date on file is March 16, 2020.

FSIS classifies the plant in its largest size category and places it in slaughter volume category 4.0, the high end of the agency's scale, which begins at category 1 for plants under 1,000 head per year. The establishment reports halal slaughter to FSIS. No custom-exempt activity is reported, meaning the federal record does not show the plant processing animals owned by individual farmers or households for their own use.

No website is on file for this location. Secondary business directory listings describe Tyson Fresh Meats broadly as a supplier of beef and pork operating more than 15 production sites in North America, but those descriptions apply to the company rather than specifically to the Wallula plant. Details beyond the federal record, including retail sales, hours, and booking practices, are not yet on file.

The federal record lists this plant as a large commercial cattle slaughter and processing establishment with no custom-exempt activity reported, so it is not recorded as a custom processor for individually owned animals. Livestock procurement terms, scheduling, minimums, and cut and wrap arrangements are not stated in any source on file. Producers should contact the plant directly at (509) 543-4230 to learn what, if any, arrangements are available, as listed.

Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. 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.
