Tyson Fresh Meats violations
A spate of violations related to humane handling of animals put Tyson Fresh Meats in hot water last year with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, spurring the agency to suspend inspections at the plant several times over the course of 2015 and triggering changes at the Logansport pork processing facility. Federal inspectors logged 33 violations of U.S. humane handling regulations from Oct. 28, 2014, through the first two months of 2016, according to documents released June 24 in response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the Pharos-Tribune. In some cases, violations related to stunning effectiveness were logged twice in a week, or even twice in one day, as on March 24, 2015.
