Smithfield Foods is committed to producing "Good food. Responsibly.®"​​ Part of that responsibility is making sure we utilize the entire animal and minimize waste. There are many parts of the animal that are not typically eaten. However, at Smithfield, we have found valuable uses for these parts, such as supplying them to the medical community.Smithfield BioScience is part of a vertically integrated platform providing an unparalleled level of traceability and product safety, while offering innovative solutions to increase functionality and viability of Smithfield's non-food products for the advanced development of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and medical devices.Smithfield Foods continues to invest in its BioScience unit and is one of the only U.S. manufacturers of Heparin Sodium USP. In Cincinnati, we have a USDA-approved and FDA-registered facility with significant expansion plans. The facility manufactures products used in cardiac surgery, dialysis procedures, blood transfusions, medical device implantation, and many other applications.
