Simply Essentials to open chicken processing plant
Once open, the state-of-the-art, innovative chicken processing plant will produce high-quality, premium chicken products.
Simply Essentials, LLC, Overland Park, Kan., purchased the Cedar River Poultry chicken processing plant in Charles City, Iowa, and announced plans to invest more than $30 million to reopen it in the fall. Once open, the state-of-the-art, innovative chicken processing plant will produce high-quality, premium chicken products.
Simply Essentials chicken is said to be the first chicken to feature the flavor and health benefits derived from Simply Essentials’ proprietary flax seed diet. Additionally, the plant is being designed with air chilled processing technology, an innovative process that uses cold air to individually chill the chicken throughout the process instead of conventional processing that chills the birds in a common bath of chlorine water.
