Success StoryLoretto Meat Processing



Loretto Meat Processing

Author: Gregg Rentfrow

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: Agriculture and Extension Leadership Development

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Recently, a new owner purchased Loretto Meat Processing.  The new owner's goals are to remodel the facility, re-establish USDA-FSIS inspection, and expand into a retail store front.  I traveled to Loretto to work with the new owner on a new facility design to enhance food safety and humane animal handling, as well as how to organize the store front.  Currently, they are working on a total facility remodel and plan to re-file for USDA inspection this fall.
