Etymology

The term 'meatpacking' originates from the combination of 'meat' and 'packing'. The meat industry has roots in ancient practices where animals were slaughtered and their meat was prepared for consumption. The modern meatpacking industry emerged during the 19th century with the advent of industrialization and the growth of urban centers. The introduction of refrigeration and canning technology greatly facilitated the preservation and distribution of meat products. In the United States, cities like Chicago became known as major meatpacking centers, leading to the establishment of large-scale operations that could produce meat in massive quantities for domestic and international markets. Over the years, the industry has faced various challenges, including labor issues, food safety concerns, and changing consumer preferences, which have all necessitated adaptations within the meatpacking business model.
