Fukushima Meat Processing & Distribution Center

Fukushima Meat Processing & Distribution Center Co., Ltd. is a meat processing and distribution hub established for the purpose of promoting the prefectural livestock industry and stable supply to consumers. By combining slaughterhouse functions and cutting plant functions, the company can handle everything from livestock to carcasses to primal cuts under one integrated system — building an efficient and hygienic distribution system.

At the center, work areas are divided by process — from pre-slaughter livestock acceptance to carcass processing, deboning/trimming, packaging, and refrigerated storage — with zoning implemented according to hygiene levels. By thoroughly performing hygiene education for workers, equipment washing/disinfection, and temperature management — the company maintains a system that can ship safe and high-quality meat.

On the other hand, at the direct sales store "Fresh" attached within the premises, prefectural brand meats — Fukushima beef and Hayama Kogen pork — are provided as precision-cut meat packs and prepared foods so they can be enjoyed at home. Prepared foods such as rosu-katsu, menchi-katsu, and yaki-ton are also popular with local regular customers — the store also has the face of a "neighborhood meat shop."

Going forward, together with prefectural livestock farmers, stably supplying safe and delicious Fukushima-produced meat, and continuing to widely communicate its appeal through direct sales and gifts — that is the mission of Fukushima Meat Processing & Distribution Center.

A core distribution and processing hub for prefectural meat

Fukushima Meat Processing & Distribution Center is a key meat processing facility within the prefecture, located in Fukuyama-machi, Koriyama City. By building an integrated system that accepts cattle and pigs from livestock farmers and animal markets, and handles slaughter, carcass processing, primal cut processing, storage, and shipping under one roof — the company supports stable supply of prefectural meat including Fukushima beef.

Thorough hygiene management and commitment to safety and reliability

Incorporating HACCP thinking throughout the facility, the company thoroughly performs hygiene management, temperature control, and washing/disinfection by process. In collaboration with veterinarians and inspection agencies, the company performs pre/post-slaughter inspection and carcass inspection — only shipping meat with confirmed safety. The company also works on building traceability — playing the role of connecting producers and consumers.

Direct sales store "Fresh" is attached within the center premises. In addition to precision-cut meat — prefectural wagyu centered on Fukushima beef, and brand pork "Hayama Kogen Pork" — the store also sells prepared foods such as tonkatsu and menchi-katsu. With freshness and prices unique to a direct sales store, the shop is loved by locals.

As infrastructure supporting regional livestock and food culture

In collaboration with prefectural livestock farmers, JA, and meat-related companies, the company works on improving the brand value of Fukushima beef and prefectural pork and on stable distribution. By meeting diverse uses — school lunches, mass retailers, restaurants — the company plays the role of social infrastructure that quietly supports "Fukushima's livestock industry" and "daily dining tables."
