Where this facility sits in the TRI record
According to the EPA Toxics Release Inventory, Aviagen Feed Processing Unit filed Form R disclosures without reporting any release volume, one of 1,979 Food facilities in this database. A zero total means nothing was reported under EPCRA Section 313, not that the site was assessed and found clean.
Placement is computed from reported TRI pounds in this database. Thresholds are fixed across every facility page: concentrated ≥60% of volume in one chemical, county-dominant ≥25% of the county total, carcinogen-heavy ≥50% of pounds. Share-based statements are shown only for sites reporting at least 1,000 lbs, because a share of a very small total is not a meaningful signal. Reported pounds are self-reported estimates and do not measure toxicity or health risk.

On this page the largest disclosed chemicals include Formaldehyde; nearby reporters include Tris USA Inc. "Total releases" includes air, water, land, and off-site transfers for disposal, aggregated across available reporting years. Quantities are self-reported estimates, not measured stack emissions.
PlainEnviro presents this data without advocacy framing. The presence of a facility in the TRI database does not by itself indicate a health risk. For site-specific health questions, consult your local environmental or health agency.
