Who We Are

Tyson Foods began with a local Arkansas farmer’s ambition to succeed, and grew to revolutionize the poultry industry as we know it today. Since 1935, we have been putting meat on dinner tables and proudly pioneering kitchen conveniences, some as simple as cutting up chicken for consumers, without compromising quality and freshness. Today, we are the world’s largest producer and marketer of chicken, beef, and pork, supplying insights, ideas, and great products to operators of all sizes, from the biggest chains to the smallest independent restaurants. We actively sponsor professional and educational organizations across the school foodservice landscape, including SNA, USDA, ACDA and FAME. We are also active in many sustainable efforts, including water conservation, energy conservation, and the development of alternative fuels from animal waste. Our success stems from our customers’ successes because, in each relationship, we are committed to Working at the Heart of Your Menu.™
