Tyson Foods, Inc. is an American multinational corporation based in Springdale, Arkansas. It is in the food industry. The company is the world's second biggest processor and marketer of chicken, beef, and pork after JBS S.A.[2] Every year, it exports the biggest percentage of beef out of the United States.[3] It operates several major food brands and more than 30 individual food brands, including Jimmy Dean, Hillshire Farm, Sara Lee, Ball Park, Wright Brand, Aidells, and State Fair.[4] Tyson Foods ranked No. 85 in the 2025 Fortune 500 list of largest United States corporations by total revenue.[5]

The company was created by John W. Tyson in 1935. World War II helped the business because chicken was not included in foods that were rationed.[6] As of 2025, the company had 133,000 employees.[7] As of late 2022, Tyson Foods had more than 300 facilities worldwide,[8] with 143 locations in the US as of February 2026.[9]
