Tyson Foods is a nasty place. Every plant of theirs that I went to pick up or deliver freight to, was smelly with blood leaking fron the trailers with flies buzzing all around the property. Half the time they did not wash the trailers out long enough to kill any bacteria that may have formed in the transfer of meat/meat products from plant to plant and plant to store. 5 mins is not enough to wash a 53ft trailer clean. Tyson Foods suck.... I will never eat their food.
