About the Company

Empirical Foods

Meat processing, lean ground beef producer

Empirical Foods processes beef trimmings into lean ground beef using its own technology that warms trimmings, centrifuges fat, and treats the product to kill bacteria, producing 95% lean ground beef sold to food service and retail. The company also makes boxed beef and pork, portioned steaks and roasts, and fully cooked, seasoned items such as taco meat and Bolognese under brands like Noble Valley, Two Rivers Meat Co, and Dos Rios Taco Meat. It differentiates itself by applying an in-house, proprietary process to recover lean meat from trimmings rather than relying on external suppliers, serving major packers, ground beef producers, fast-food chains, and grocers. Its goal is to increase cattle value by turning by-products into high-quality protein at scale, supported by a large new Garden City, Kansas plant expanding ground beef capacity.
