Smithfield Foods had no domestic product recalls during the latest reporting period.
Food Safety & Quality Goal
- No product recalls of any type
2011 Progress
- No domestic recalls
Several Smithfield facilities were affected by trade-related activities in China, Russia, and Mexico, which banned the import of products from specific plants. These bans were related to export requirements, which are different than those in the United States. None of these actions, however, was related to food safety, and many of our domestic competitors were similarly affected by import bans from those countries.
Under Country of Origin labeling laws, meat packers are required to provide information to retailers with the name of the country from which animals are produced. Smithfield’s vertically integrated model positions us well to comply with these standards.
