Cargill
Protein is investing $22 million to install a controlled atmospheric
stunning system at its chicken processing plant at London.
Cargill
said the investment reflects its efforts to address customer and
consumer demand for improved animal welfare in meat production.
This
spring the new system will replace electric stunning.
The
plant, which has 830 employees, processes products for nation-wide
distribution.
It
was once owned by Cuddy Foods which supplied McDonald’s Restaurants
across Canada.
