Tyson Foods has announced that the impact of Hurricane Rita on the Texas operations was minor.

The company's two processed meats plants in Houston, which closed last Thursday in anticipation of the storm, had virtually no damage and are expected to resume operations soon as workers return to the city. Tyson poultry processing operations in east Texas also experienced little to no damage. The plant at Carthage will run a normal schedule today, while the processing facility in Center is currently expected to resume operations this afternoon. The company does not currently expect the limited damage and interruption in business caused by Hurricane Rita to have a material impact on earnings.
