) will indefinitely suspend operations at its largest U.S. pork plant to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the company said on Wednesday, further tightening meat supplies after other major slaughterhouse shutdowns.
Tyson Foods, the largest U.S. meat supplier, said its largest pork plant in Waterloo, Iowa, was closing after operating at reduced capacity. Plant employees tested positive for the virus, and others stayed home out of fear of becoming infected. The facility slaughters about 19,500 hogs a day, or about 5% of total U.S. pork production, according to industry data.
Reduced meat output comes as demand has increased at grocery stores while restaurant dining rooms are closed due to the virus.
