Nicholas Meats, a Clinton County, Pa., meat processor, has reopened after being idled for about two weeks. The processor was closed on February 23 after the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection ordered the company to stop spreading food processing residuals (FPRs) on snow-covered fields.
Nicholas Meats, which employs about 350 people and has 150 contract workers, opened on March 3 after the snow had melted off the fields. According to PennLive, the company provided training to its employees and kept paying them during the shutdown.
