In response to a recent slowdown of beef and pork production in Michigan, food industry leaders urged consumers not to panic buy as adjustments are made in response to the coronavirus pandemic at processing plants across the state.
The Michigan beef and pork industries said in a joint statement on Saturday that processing plants in the state have decreased production in order to install new safety measures for the employees like plexiglass and social distancing measures.
The safety precautions were put in place to help protect the workers and get an ample stock of beef and pork in grocery stores again. Additionally, plants have constructed temporary outdoor break areas in tents to allow employees to social distance during break periods. Workers and management team members who have been exposed have been required to stay home. Some plants have required older workers to stay home to protect more vulnerable workers.
