Central Valley Meat reopens after week-long shutdown
Central Valley Meat Co., which was shut down a week ago after an undercover video shows alleged instances of animal cruelty, says that its improved animal handling procedures are now in place, exceeding USDA standards. The company was allowed to reopen this morning, putting its 450 employees back to work
According to the Los Angeles Times, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said it had “concluded its evaluation of the extensive corrective action plan” submitted by the slaughterhouse to address “recent humane handling violations.”
