“These video tours give viewers a close look inside our hog farms and lets people see firsthand how we put our commitment to product quality, food safety and animal care into practice,” said Don Butler, director of government relations and public affairs for Murphy-Brown.

In December, after an undercover investigation, The Humane Society of the United States said there had been “inhumane treatment” of pigs at a farm in Virginia owned by a Smithfield subsidiary.

After an internal investigation, Smithfield fired three employees.
