This plant is the 4th biggest hot spot for CV in the US.
Remember, this company has had raids of illegals time and time again. Paula Deen is/was their spokesperson. It’s been on my ban list for years.
A Chinese company owns Smithfield Foods.
Tyson Chicken also has a large number of CV cases and had to shut down for cleaning. It also has had many raids for illegals.
It’s, also, been on my ban list for years. Yeah, I know, lots of companies hire illegals but they don’t make headlines as often as Tyson and Smithfield do.
