THE QUICK READ
Farbest Foods runs a turkey processing plant in Huntingburg, turning whole birds into raw, fresh, and frozen cuts that other food companies package and sell under their own brands. The plant holds roughly 51,100 pounds of ammonia for its refrigeration system — large enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. Farbest has invested tens of millions of dollars in recent years to expand and automate the Huntingburg lines, including deboning-room upgrades.
