Cargill said it had installed new equipment to ensure the packaging lines “operate more effectively and efficiently to meet customer needs”.
The company has also spent $4.2m on installing a carcass wash that “closely resembles a carwash for cattle”, it said.
The system scrubs animal hides with spinning bristles and a bromine solution that kills bacteria at the start of the harvesting process.
