Hormel Foods is selling its whole-bird turkey business to Life-Science Innovations to reduce exposure to volatile, commodity-driven markets and focus on value-added protein. The sale includes a production facility and feed mill, though Hormel will retain the Jennie-O brand for other turkey products. This move follows a challenging period for the whole-bird industry due to aggressive discounting.
