As the coronavirus crisis bombards America’s beef industry, Cargill in Fort Morgan, CO, has received a positive bill of health. This comes after inspectors toured the facility this week, reports CBS4.
Data released from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment shows one death from the plant and 15 positive cases. The Teamsters union says the figures remain the same and hopes the plant can safely remain open.
A draft report from the Northeast Colorado Health Department, led by Trish McLain, that was obtained by CBS4 concludes, “I believe Cargill has made employee health a priority, and their practices are an example for other food industry companies to follow.”
