Nova Scotia processing plant delayed

Aug. 21, 2012, Berwick, NS – A new poultry processing plant from Eden Valley Poultry has been delayed due to the challenge of tweaking European equipment.

According to an article from The Daily Business Buzz, the next steps are to install proper sanitization and cleaning systems, says Eden Valley Poultry president Greg Gillespie. After that, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points approval must be granted, followed by a plant inspection from the CFIA.

While the plant was expected to open in June, the $40 million plant is now expected to open in July.

“We missed our original target by about a month, but that target was quite aggressive,” Gillespie noted.
