Jensen Meat Company (San Diego)
Not affiliated with Jensen Meat Co. LLC.
THE QUICK READ
Jensen Meat Company's San Diego plant grinds and forms raw beef into more than 250 products — fresh patties, frozen patties, seasoned varieties, and other ready-to-cook items — that ship to grocery stores, restaurant chains, and school cafeterias. The facility sits in the Otay Mesa area and puts out roughly 75 million pounds of ground beef a year across about 150,000 square feet of production floor. A separate plant-based protein line also runs on site, meaning maintenance and refrigeration crews here work with two different types of processing equipment.
