Meat Suppliers say that 'supply chain is good' following warning from Tyson Foods
As meat processing plants around the country close in response to the coronavirus pandemic, concern among American consumers about the availability of meat continues to grow. That concern was fueled on Sunday by an advertisement published by Tyson Foods—which has closed several plants in recent weeks as workers tested positive for COVID-19—in which Chairman John Tyson said that"the food supply chain is breaking.
"Overall, there's no doubt that you're probably going to see some shortages," Executive Director of the American Association of Meat Processors Chris Young told."People may get to the grocery store and they may not have the exact cut of protein they want. But overall, there's going to be enough meat for the consumer."
"We were caught off guard a bit by the panic buying at the beginning," Young said."I think the supply chain has caught up." "Part of the challenge has been the CDC guidelines changed," Young said, pointing specifically to recommendations regarding facial coverings."Most of the meat industry plants started right away with implementing the CDC's guidelines."
