Swift Pork Company
Swift Pork Company Sweet & Saucy Ribs Swift Pork Company In 1855 Gustavus F. Swift borrowed $20 from his father to purchase a neighbor’s prized heifer. This humble beginning evolved into Swift & Company, one of the most storied beef and pork companies in American business history. In 1953 José Batista Sobrinho founded Friboi Group in central Brazil. When it first began the slaughter was 5 head of cattle per day. Over the years, Friboi acquired several additional plants and in 2004 acquired 50% of BF Alimento. In 2005 Friboi acquired Swift Armour S.A., a beef producer and exporter in Argentina. Also in 2005, Friboi Group restructured and became JBS S.A. In 2007 JBS S.A. bought Swift & Company in the US, in 2008 JBS bought Smithfield Beef Company and in 2009 JBS purchased a controlling share in Pilgrim’s Pride chicken company. All three proteins are united under one roof in Greeley, Colorado. Today JBS S.A. is the largest animal protein processor in the world, with operations in food, leather, pet products and biodiesel. The company has production and processing in Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Australia, USA, Uruguay, Paraguay, Mexico, China, Russia and Canada. JBS S.A. has 300 production units worldwide and over 142 thousand employees. Worthington, MN 1 Quality Safe, Flavorful, Quality Products. Quality Begins at the Farm Our pork is harvested from high quality pigs raised by a select group of independent farmers throughout the Midwestern United States. A large percentage of our pigs come from farmers with whom we have long term contracts, providing us with assured supply. Our pig farmers must meet specific 2 production, facility, nutrition and genetic requirements designed to yield very high quality and flavorful pork meat. All JBS pig suppliers must be certified by the National Pork Board for the Pork Quality Assurance Plus (PQA Plus) program and all drivers delivering pigs to JBS facilities must be Transport Quality Assurance (TQA) certified. Quality at the Plant We harvest most of our pigs using CO2 stunning which is humane and virtually eliminates blood splash. We lock in the pork meat quality with our deep chill systems which help us achieve excellent pH and meat color. Animal Welfare JBS works with a company which performs on-farm audits of our contract farmers. If a critical failure is identified during an audit the farmer is required to submit a corrective action plan. Each JBS pork pant has a Livestock Handling Manager who oversees all aspects of animal handling, including auditing, program development and training. Each manager is Professional Animal Auditor Certification Organization (PAACO) certified. In-plant audits are based on the American Meat Institute (AMI) Animal Handling Guidelines. Food Safety JBS is deeply committed to food safety. Each of our facilities has completed their annual HACCP reassessment as required by the USDA FSIS and is in compliance with 9 CFR 417. JBS’s Food Safety Process consists of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs), Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCPs), and validated technology interventions which are designed to eliminate or reduce pathogens. We use third party audits and customers’ audits to confirm that our Food Safety Process is working.
