A Message from Ken Sullivan: Genuine Smithfield Hams Aren’t Going Anywhere

Thank you to our consumers for the outpouring of love for our Genuine Smithfield Ham!
 
Contrary to recent media reports, we are not discontinuing our Genuine Smithfield Ham. In fact, we have always been committed to continued production of this beloved product in Smithfield, Virginia, the town we’ve called home for more than 80 years.
 
While we have closed the original smokehouse that produced these hams due to its age, we have plenty of these hams in inventory. This affords us the opportunity to assess alternatives for the production of our Genuine Smithfield Ham in Smithfield, Virginia, while continuing to supply this product to our loyal customers.
 
We are incredibly proud to be a part of your family tradition and look forward to being at your table for many years to come.

Kenneth M. Sullivan, President and CEO
