The lines at the hog processing plant in Rantoul (Champaign County) are rolling again.
Rantoul Foods renovated the facility, built and formerly owned by Meadowbrook Farms, and reopened it earlier this month.
Rantoul Foods was created when Trim-Rite Foods purchased the facility in September 2010. Rantoul Foods and Trim-Rite Foods are sister companies servicing the retail, food service, further processing, and export markets with fresh and frozen pork.
The plant initially will process 500 to 600 hogs per day. It currently employs about 150 workers.
