THE QUICK READ
The Tyson Foods plant in Newbern, Tennessee, turns raw pork into sausage products, including the Jimmy Dean fresh sausage rolls known in the industry as "chubs," which make up more than two-thirds of the plant's output of over 150 million pounds a year. The facility holds roughly 103,000 pounds of ammonia, large enough to require a formal process safety management program, since federal rules kick in at 10,000 pounds. Tyson has put more than $20 million into the site, expanding production space, adding a wellness center, and building a separate roadway for hauling livestock in.

By fiscal 2025, Tyson operated roughly 200 facilities worldwide, employed about 133,000 people, and reported $54.4 billion in revenue.
