About American Beef Processing:

American Beef Processing, LLC (ABP), in conjunction with its licensor and other members of a consortium of partner organizations and Universities, has over the last several years, developed and built a commercial scale, boneless beef processing plant in Clackamus, Oregon. Using a unique design, the plant is designed to exploit the licenses granted and technologies developed during this period. The automated process is unique and entirely different to all other boneless beef processing systems. The ABP facility includes a "Bio-refinery" capable of separating a stream of tallow from boneless beef of any lean content grade such as 50's (50% lean), 65's 73's, 75's, 85's and even 90's- which comprises the majority of the 10 billion pound annual harvest of boneless beef by the US beef industry for sale to US consumers. The extracted "fat stream" is extracted as a food grade item but can be used as a feedstock for production of bio-diesel.

ABP will soon be installing a pathogen deactivating process capable of reducing pathogen (E.coli O157:H7, Listeria Monocytogenes, Salmonella) populations to undetectable levels (pathogen population reductions of >6Log). This anti-microbial process is also unique, incorporating a process of rapid, alternating immersion of the entire input stream of boneless beef/trim in sub critical and super critical carbon dioxide under controlled pressure (and temperature) and exposure time.

Additionally, ABP plans to install a market tested, anoxic, controlled atmosphere packaging system by the end of the first quarter 2010. This retail packaging process enables full semi-trailer loading (>40,000lbs compared to other, bulky, high oxygen MA systems which typically restrict semi-trailer loading to about 26,000lbs). This, extended shelf-life packaging process can reduce packaging material consumption by >50%.
