3-17 news: Tyson exits Canadian beef, enters pet food
“We extend our appreciation to the employees of Lakeside for their hard work over the years and for their patience as we sorted through the details of the ownership change,” said Leland Tollett, interim president and chief executive officer of Tyson Foods. “We’re also grateful to the community of Brooks and the province of Alberta for their support of Lakeside and the Canadian beef industry.”
While Tyson will no longer own a beef plant in Canada, the company plans to continue buying Canadian cattle to supply some of its U.S. beef operations.
