As part of its probation, Tyson revealed that it has developed a company-wide program that promotes compliance with all federal, state and local laws. This program, which it says will be continued, has been lauded as an industry-leading example of corporate responsibility.
The court also made it clear that any further consideration of a change in Tyson’s probationary status would be delayed until after a final resolution of the INS case in Tennessee.
