Tyson Foods Inc., one of the largest U.S. food companies, confirmed that last week that it removed its requirement that employees receive COVID-19 vaccines in order to work.

Tyson, considered the largest American meat company by sales, lifted the mandate several weeks ago, one year after imposing it, according to a report Tyson filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission last week. The requirement “generally improved our ability to operate our business effectively in fiscal 2022,” the report said.
