Butterball is honored to be among Forbes' Best Employers by State. 💛 💙 This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects our team members. It is a testament to their hard work, dedication and passion for helping people pass love on, every day.💙 💛 According to Forbes, "To create the list, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 160,000 employees working for companies with at least 500 people within the United States. Survey participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10. Respondents were also asked to evaluate employers they’d worked for within the past two years, and organizations they knew within their industry or through friends or family who worked there."

This week is Safe and Sound week! Led by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Safe and Sound Week is a nationwide event, recognizing the steps businesses take to improve workplace safety. All week, our Raeford, North Carolina facility is hosting safety first activities for team members. Team members had the opportunity to play "Poppin PPE" on Monday, enjoying popcorn and participating in a "guess that PPE" blindfolded activity. Butterball is passionate about keeping team members safe. This week, our blog highlights Alvin Holland who works in the safety department in Mount Olive, North Carolina.

Excited to share that Butterball’s bold new packaging for its portfolio of retail products will hit shelves starting next month in a phased approach. Consumers will first see our frozen turkey burgers – the No. 1 frozen turkey burger brand in America* – in a new package in August. Over a year of research went into determining the new master design. Read why consumers favored the new look, and why this update, the first since 2018, connects to Butterball’s purpose and will benefit both retailers and consumers. * Source: Circana US Multi-Outlet Plus 52 week data ending 6/9/2024, Frozen Turkey Burgers
