Carroll Street processing plant, EST. 2748

Carroll Street processing site in Reading, Pennsylvania, identified by EST. 2748 on pictured Quaker Maid and Steak-umm packages.

About: The August 2026 FSIS directory lists EST. 2748 at Carroll Street in Reading, Pennsylvania, for meat and poultry processing, without slaughter.
Certifications: On October 15, 2026, SQFI’s directory listed raw sliced sandwich steaks and hamburgers at 521 Carroll Street within Quaker Maid’s shared Morgantown-site certification. This is shared offsite scope, rather than a standalone Carroll certificate.
Ownership: A March 2026 county transaction record reports the Carroll property’s sale from Quaker Maid Meats to Knauss Foods. The sale does not itself establish a transfer of EST. 2748 or the manufacture date of retailer packages.
Practices: A November 2024 waste inspection cited container labeling and storage beyond one year. Both entries were displayed as corrected or abated in the October 2026 review; the records do not establish food contamination.
