Daily’s Premium Meats announced plans to construct a new pork processing plant in St. Joseph, Mo., with site work expected to begin this summer and operations starting May 2016.
The $41.5 million plant will focus on producing sliced-to-order naturally hardwood smoked bacon and employ about 200 people. Daily’s, owned by Seaboard Foods and Triumph Foods, will build the plant across the road from Triumph Foods’ St. Joseph, Mo., fresh pork processing plant.
