Meat processing plants are facilities where animals, such as cows, pigs, and chickens, are slaughtered and transformed into various meat products. These plants follow strict health and safety regulations to ensure that the meat is safe for consumption. The process includes several steps, such as butchering, packaging, and sometimes cooking or curing the meat. In addition to producing fresh cuts of meat, meat processing plants often create processed products like sausages, bacon, and deli meats. They play a crucial role in the food supply chain, providing meat to grocery stores, restaurants, and other food service providers.
