packinghouse
Where carcasses become cuts
A packinghouse is a facility where agricultural products—especially meat or produce—are processed and prepared for distribution.
Meatpacking plants slaughter livestock and prepare cuts for sale.
Fruit and vegetable packinghouses sort, wash, and box harvests for shipping: The citrus packinghouse ran double shifts during harvest season.
