What is an Establishment Number?
An Establishment Number is a unique numeric code required by law that identifies the plant where each package of Cargill ground beef was produced.
How can I find it?
Simply look for a seal similar to the one pictured here on the front of any ground beef package to track the ground beef you purchase back to its plant of origin. If there is no seal, look for "Est." on the package and use the number following those letters.
