Food & Water Watch, representada por FarmSTAND (antiguamente el Food Project de Public Justice), present\u00f3 una demanda ante el Tribunal Superior del Distrito de Columbia contra Smithfield Foods, alegando que la multinacional de procesamiento de carne minti\u00f3 repetidamente a los consumidores durante la pandemia de COVID-19 para proteger su rentabilidad \u2014a expensas de las vidas de sus trabajadores\u2014. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La pandemia de COVID-19 puso de manifiesto el abuso cr\u00f3nico de los trabajadores en la industria c\u00e1rnica, ya que brote tras brote azotaba a las comunidades de trabajadores de la industria c\u00e1rnica, quienes son en su mayor\u00eda personas de color. Para disipar las preocupaciones de los consumidores sobre la seguridad de los trabajadores, Smithfield afirm\u00f3 que estaba protegiendo agresivamente a los trabajadores de la industria c\u00e1rnica. En realidad, los trabajadores estaban gravemente en peligro, y los mataderos de Smithfield eran repetidamente epicentros de brotes de COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al inicio de la pandemia, la amenaza de que las tiendas de comestibles se quedaran sin productos provoc\u00f3 p\u00e1nico entre los consumidores estadounidenses. Tras lo cual se produjo una acumulaci\u00f3n de existencias, ya que empresas como Smithfield dijeron que las escasez eran inminentes. Esto tambi\u00e9n era una mentira: las escasez de carne nunca hab\u00edan estado previstas. Mientras Smithfield dec\u00eda al p\u00fablico que el cielo se pon\u00eda negro, la empresa estaba aumentando dr\u00e1sticamente sus exportaciones de carne de cerdo a pa\u00edses extranjeros hasta niveles r\u00e9cord.<\/a> Se almacenaron miles de millones de libras de carne en almacenes frigor\u00edficos en todo el pa\u00eds, lo que era m\u00e1s que suficiente para mantener los almacenes de alimentos en stock durante meses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este proceso judicial buscaba proteger a los trabajadores al responsabilizar a Smithfield y dejar claro a las empresas de procesamiento de carne que cualquier afirmaci\u00f3n sobre la protecci\u00f3n agresiva de los trabajadores debe ir acompa\u00f1ada de acciones.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La demanda fue resuelta y desestimada en mayo de 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
