Tyson Food's Letter Warning of Imminent Breakdown in Food Supply Chain

The Chairman of Tyson Foods, John Tyson, warned in full-page ads published in The New York Times and The Washington Post on Sunday that as more meat plants are being forced to close amid the coronavirus crisis, "Millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain" and that the supply chain is in danger of breaking.

As Chairman of Tyson Foods, I am grateful for our team members, but most of all I care about their health and safety.

Over these last few months, our team members have done what they always have: put food on the tables of millions of homes around the country.

This means one thing - the food supply chain is vulnerable.

Our plants must remain operational so that we can supply food to our families in America.

Tyson Foods is also paying approximately $60 million in "Thank you" bonuses to 116,000 frontline workers and Tyson truckers who support our operations every day.

What gave us faith in the past and gives me faith today is knowing that together, we will find the right path to take care of our team members and our communities, while providing safe and healthy food for you, our consumers.
