PROFILE |
 |
Smithfield Foods is best appreciated if you don't think about Babe and Wilbur. Having gone whole hog for acquisitions, it is now the world's largest hog producer (nearly 12 million annually) and pork processor. Its products include fresh pork and processed meats sold under the John Morrell, Lykes, Patrick Cudahy, Fleetwood, Schneider, and Smithfield names. It distributes across the US and to more than 25 other countries, and it has made major moves into Canada, France, Mexico, and Poland. Subsidiaries Murphy Farms and Carroll's Foods also produces hogs, and Carroll's is a leading turkey producer.
