Tyson Foods closes Georgia plant, lays off 168 after losing General Mills contract

Tyson Foods is closing its Hillshire Brands Company plant in Rome, Georgia, laying off 168 workers by 31 May after losing contracts to manufacture Nature Valley Granola Bars for General Mills. The company sent a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice to the Georgia Department of Labor on 26 March. The 91-year-old facility, acquired in Tyson's 2014 purchase of Hillshire Brands, had operated under a single-customer model. Tyson stated that recent changes made continued operations no longer viable. The closure follows broader cost-cutting efforts across the meat industry, driven by declining consumer demand as beef prices rise. US cattle numbers have reached a 75-year low of 86.2 million head. Tyson previously closed its Nebraska beef processing plant in January, which employed 3,200 workers.

Tyson Foods reports $14B+ Q1 sales as prepared foods and chicken segments drive growth

Tyson Foods reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 sales exceeding $14 billion, with strong performance across its protein portfolio. The company has changed its segment reporting to focus on segment operating income rather than adjusted operating income, removing corporate expense allocations to improve business decision-making. Prepared Foods sales increased 8.1%, driven by volume growth and channel mix, with segment operating income reaching $338 million. The company's retail branded products grew 2.5% in volume, significantly outperforming the broader food sector's 1.8% decline. Chicken delivered $459 million in segment operating income with a 10.9% margin, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of volume and sales gains. The segment benefited from operational efficiencies and strong consumer demand. Tyson closed its Lexington, Nebraska beef facility and scaled back Amarillo operations to improve capacity utilisation amid tight cattle supplies expected through 2027.

Amazon cuts 16,000 jobs as layoffs surge across US amid tariffs and AI restructuring

US employers are accelerating job cuts amid economic uncertainty, heightening worker anxiety as hiring stagnates. The country added just 50,000 jobs last month, down from 56,000 in November, whilst businesses remain in a "no-hire, no fire" standstill. Amazon eliminated 16,000 corporate roles this week, following 14,000 cuts three months earlier, citing restructuring and increased AI investment. UPS plans to cut up to 30,000 operational positions through voluntary buyouts, adding to 48,000 previous reductions. Tyson Foods closed a Nebraska plant affecting 3,200 workers and eliminated 1,700 jobs in Texas. Companies cite rising operational costs from tariffs, inflation and shifting consumer spending.
