Conagra Foods Packaged Foods, LLC

THE QUICK READ

Conagra Brands runs a Gardein plant-based protein plant in Hagerstown, Maryland, where crews turn soy and pea protein into meatless items like fillets and nuggets on the production lines. The plant employs about 175 people. It holds roughly 20,000 pounds of ammonia for refrigeration, large enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. Conagra picked up the Hagerstown facility in 2018 when it acquired the Gardein brand.

It grew through acquisitions including Banquet, Armour, Beatrice Foods, Marie Callender's, Ralcorp, and Pinnacle Foods, the last of which added Birds Eye in 2018. Its brands now include Hunt's, Healthy Choice, Slim Jim, and Orville Redenbacher's, made across about 38 plants in the United States.
