This site visit is a good occasion to discover this newly-installed company.
FPL Food, LLC is a stealthy-but-successful beef-processing firm.
Since 2004, FPL Food LLC has grown quickly, from two plants in Augusta, Ga., employing 400 people, to four facilities in Georgia and South Carolina, with upwards of 800 employees and annual revenues topping $350 million. The company was founded by Frenchman François Léger, as a harvesting plant and manufacturer of boxed beef and ground-beef products.
Today, FPL Foods is the largest, privately owned, vertically integrated beef company in the Southeast.
From the beginning, FPL Foods was the only beef company that adopted a policy of not allowing any meat from downer cattle into the supply chain.
FPL was the first slaughtering facility in the US to utilize remote video auditing at its plant in Augusta, to ensure animal-welfare standards were being met. The company was also an early adopter of DNA traceability technology as a food-safety measure starting about four years ago. Today, its beef products are 100-percent DNA traceable.
