Smithfield agrees to pay $2 million to resolve child labor allegations at Minnesota meat plant

An investigation by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry found that the Smithfield Packaged Meats subsidiary employed at least 11 children at its plant in St. James ages 14 to 17 from April 2021 through April 2024, the agency said. Three of them began working for the company when they were 14, it said. Smithfield let nine of them work after allowable hours and had all 11 perform potentially dangerous work, the agency alleged.

Smithfield Foods, one of the nation's largest meat processors, has agreed to pay $2 million to resolve allegations
