Pilgrim's Pride Corporation

Pilgrim's Pride couldn't be blamed if it spread its tail feathers and did a barnyard strut. As the world's #1 chicken processor, Pilgrim's operations entail breeding, hatching, raising, processing, and distributing of chicken. Prepared poultry products are sold under the Pilgrim's Pride and EatWellStayHealthy labels to retail food outlets and foodservice operators. The company sells fresh and refrigerated whole and cut-up poultry, value-added prepared chicken, and deli products. It also produces table eggs as well as chicken byproducts for use as animal feed. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2008; it emerged from it in late 2009 and was acquired by Brazil's JBS.
