AUSTIN, MINN. — Burke Corp., a subsidiary of Hormel Foods Corp., completed a 210,000-square-foot expansion at its production facility in Nevada, Iowa.
The upgraded facility will increase Hormel Ingredient Solutions’ fully cooked meat capacity. The improvements include a new freezer system to allow for more streamlined order fulfillment, new manufacturing equipment and a multilayered safety inspection process for meat that enters the facility. The new inspection process will reduce the risk of foreign materials by utilizing X-ray, vision and metal detection systems on all incoming raw materials, said Paul Sheehan, director of sales at Hormel Ingredient Solutions.
