Tyson Foods Inc will resume limited production at its largest U.S. pork plant this week, the company said late on Tuesday, a week after President Donald Trump ordered companies to keep meat-processing plants open to protect the supply chain.

The company closed two pork processing plants, including the Iowa plant, to contain the spread of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, further tightening meat supplies after other major slaughterhouse shutdowns.
