Cargill’s China Poultry Operation Delivers First Shipment of Chicken Nuggets
GEA Food Solutions, The Netherlands, delivered, installed and commissioned two 1000 mm-wide processing lines for the new Cargill integrated poultry operation in Lai’an, China in just nine months—eight weeks ahead of schedule.
On Sept. 2, Cargill delivered its first shipment of chicken nuggets from one of the lines to McDonald’s China, helping satisfy a sudden and unexpected increase in demand from the quick-service restaurant chain. The first line processes chicken nuggets at a rate of 30 tons per day while the second line processes boneless and bone-in poultry products.
