FAO: Meat plant workflows must change to protect laborers.
Workplace dividers at meat and poultry plants may be an improvement as the industry seeks to protect its workers from COVID-19.
The meat and poultry industry has taken a number of measures to protect its workers during the COVID-19 outbreak, more needs to be done, said Maximo Torero Cullen, assistant director-general and chief economist for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.
Cullen -- who is also a professor on leave at the University of Pacific, Peru -- noted that most processing plants are “labor-intensive” and were not laid out with a workflow that is conducive to social distancing guidelines.
He showed a photo of a Tyson Foods plant where line workers were separated by plastic dividers, indicating that it is an improvement, but adding, “honestly, this doesn’t seem enough.”
“A change needs to go deeper than we are observing today, if we want to keep operating,” said Cullen.
