Cargill purchased two case-ready meat plants in North Kingstown, R.I., and Camp Hill, Penn., from Infinity Meat Solutions, which were Ahold Delhaize USA’s subsidiaries.
The facility will produce sweet baked goods, including donuts, cookies, cakes, pastries, muffins and more, for distribution in Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee.
The company said the plant was built to support a significant expansion in bacon production capabilities, capitalize on category leadership and increase the market for its products.

established the Central Virginia Poultry Cooperative, hoping to attract new poultry businesses to the area.
