Tyson is partnering with Gatik AI Inc., a logistics provider specializing in autonomous middle mile delivery with a focus on short-haul, business-to-business shipping for customers in the retail segment.
Hormel Foods donated five truckloads of SPAM products totaling over 264,000 cans to the affected areas, andĀ Tyson is donating over 100,000 lbs of protein, which can feed 404,000 people.
A growing number of consumers are holding retailers responsible by voting with their dollars for what choices they offer shoppers, especially in the meat case.
Earlier this year, Tyson announced it would close two other facilities in Van Buren, Ark., and Glen Allen, Va., which were expected to result in approximately 1,700 lost jobs.
