At a Pilgrim’s Pride chicken plant in Georgia, for example, an inspector described being unable to stop a stream of live birds from being boiled to death. “I was unable to safely position myself to remove the birds at rapid line speed before entering the scalder,” the inspector said in the report. “I proceeded to observe the automatic and backup killer and noticed there were numerous amounts of birds missing the automatic knife and the backup killer was not able to keep up.” A spokesman for Pilgrim’s Pride, Cameron Bruett, said he could not comment for this article, because the company was barred from making public remarks ahead of announcing its quarterly corporate earnings at the end of this month.
