Cargill’s beef processing plant in Schuyler, Nebraska, closed early Thursday due to a fire and ammonia leak.
According to reports, the cause of the fire and leak is unknown, and damage to the facility is still being assessed.
The plant processes roughly 5,000 head of cattle a day.
A Cargill spokesman said the company was working with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to determine when the plant can reopen, which could be as early as Friday.
