Why is it called a meat processing plant

‎04-30-2020 03:58 PM

Instead of a slaughterhouse? Grew up on a dairy farm so there are no surprises.

The term is more palatable.

A slaughter house can be just where they kill the meat and half it . Then they send it out to be processed. A meat processing plant does all the cutting and packaging.

What difference does it make?  A matter of semantics.

Just surprised at how sensitive we have become from words.

I've always heard this type of place referred to as an abattoir.

The difference most likely lies in the licensing and insurance aspects of the business.

I thought this was true.  A slaughterhouse does not necessarily PROCESS the meat to the final retail product.

Or am I incorrect in my thought?  Do all slaughterhouses process as well?
