University of Arizona Food Products & Safety Lab

University of Arizona Food Products & Safety Lab provides processing services in Tucson, Arizona, serving southern Arizona producers and operations as far as Phoenix. Based on the university campus, the lab handles slaughter and processing work for cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry including chickens, turkeys, and ducks.

The facility supports both large livestock and poultry processing, giving farmers, small-scale producers, and homestead operations a single location to handle multiple species. This range makes it a practical option for mixed farms or breeders who raise more than one type of animal and need processing done without coordinating between separate facilities.

As part of a university system, the lab operates with an academic and research orientation alongside its production services, which can appeal to producers interested in food safety practices tied to an educational institution. Anyone considering this facility should reach out directly to confirm current capacity, scheduling, and species-specific processing details before planning a delivery.
