Minnesota state "equal to" (E2) plants can produce and process meat and poultry products for wholesale within the state; these plants are under continuous inspection by the Minnesota Meat and Poultry Inspection Program. If you are a producer looking for a facility that can slaughter your livestock or poultry, it is a good idea to contact plants far in advance of when your animals will be ready for market. Some slaughter plants fill their schedules a year or more out.

These lists are updated on a weekly basis. If you have questions about the information provided, please contact the Dairy and Meat Inspection Division at 651-201-6300. Contact individual plants directly for specific information about their operations and availability.

Minnesota E2 Poultry Slaughter PlantsThe plants listed in this table slaughter poultry under continuous inspection. There are few facilities in Minnesota that slaughter poultry as part of their E2 operations, and the demand for E2 poultry slaughter exceeds plant capacity in Minnesota. However, there are other poultry slaughter facilities in Minnesota inspected by the USDA. A list of those plants can be found on the USDA Meat, Poultry and Egg Product Inspection Directory.
