Koch Foods has responded to what it calls “Mercy for Animals’” inaccurate and out-of-context depictions of its chicken processing plant based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The statement reads:
“The chicken processing business is a highly regulated industry with well-established industry processing procedures, and our company works hard every day to ensure our employees and contractors follow strict regulations from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and guidelines from the National Chicken Council,” said Joe Grendys, CEO of Koch Foods.
