Interactive map of US slaughterhouses and their current operating status

In light of shut-downs due to COVID-19, this tool shows the locations of pig slaughterhouses, their capacity, and operating status.

The US Pork Checkoff has created an interactive map of the slaughterhouses across the country that process pigs. Each plant's slaughter capacity is listed and each listing is kept updated with the latest working status the plant (fully operating, under capacity, or closed).

This useful tool comes in light of many plant shut-downs due to workers infected by COVID-19 and the consequential executive order to keep meat and poultry processing facilities open.
