Sanderson Farms met with representatives of OxFam in our offices in February...and...assured OxFam’s representatives that conditions such as those described in its recent report do not exist in our company.  Our policies require all processing plant employees to take regularly scheduled paid breaks, as well as a meal break... [Every] department in our processing plants is staffed with “floating” employees who are responsible for replacing an employee who needs to leave his or her station for any reason... Through an internal investigation into OxFam’s claim...Sanderson Farms has not verified any complaints regarding lack of access to restroom facilities.
