Quality Pork Processors, a pork slaughterhouse and a supplier to Hormel Foods Corp., has announced additional corrective measures stemming from the release of an undercover video showing some employees mistreating the animals.
According to ABC News, an employee shown paddling pigs has been disqualified from working in the livestock area of the plant, and two other employees were also disciplined for horseplay for throwing what appeared to be a blood clot or blood-soaked paper towel, said Nate Jansen, vice president of human resources and quality services at Quality Pork Processors. He declined to say what that discipline involved.
