Agriprocessors is a slaughterhouse and meat-packaging factory located in Postville, Iowa best known as a facility for the glatt kosher processing of cattle and poultry. It was founded by Aaron Rubashkin in 1987, who purchased a meat processing plant which had been closed for seven years. Rubashkin is regarded as an innovator in the kosher kill industry, bringing modern industrial methods to what has historically been a small, almost boutique craft[1]. Two-thirds of its output, however, is non-kosher and is marketed under the brand Iowa Best Beef[2]. Its kosher products are marketed under the brand names Aaron’s Best and Rubashkins. AgriProcessors Inc. has been under hard critics from the animal wealfare organisation PETA for animalcrueltry, e.g. has PETA had undercover agents in filming the slaughterprocesses AgriProcessors use.
