Perdue Farms returned to normal operations on same day.

Taylor Farms can produce in other facilities.

Shearer’s plant produced chips and salty snacks.

Hardly a reason for food shortage panic.

Double-checking of the list will continue.

Taylor Farms regroups after fire razes facility

The facility does not produce retail products available to consumers. Those bagged products sold under the Taylor Farms brand are produced elsewhere within the company's network.

Molatore says the company plans to rebuild and reopen by Spring, 2023.

Meanwhile, Taylor Farms will rely upon its network of processing facilities, including the one in Yuma, Arizona to continue serving customers.
