Pilgrims Pride Trip

We learned about chicken safety!
At the Pilgrims Pride Chicken Plant, we learned about how they take care of their chickens. They told us all about their plant and specific safety procedures. For instance, they have around 10 USDA inspectors a day. Each inspector must to inspect every chicken that passes by. We met with Andy Harris, the Complex manager, Dave Butters, the HR manager, Mendal Kerr, the QC/ regulatory manager, Rusty Gabnel, the Plant manager. They told us all about their plant. We also learned that their corn feed costs more, increasing the price of chicken.
