Accused of Abusing Workers, Animals and Watersheds, 'Teflon' Tyson Eyes China

No one has ever accused Tyson Foods of being green.

Even as the Springdale, AR-based meat giant's probation ends for 20 federal violations of the Clean Water Act at its Sedalia, MO chicken plant in 2003--it paid a $7.7 million fine--it is back in court.

In an unfolding trial in Tulsa, OK, Tyson is accused by the state of Oklahoma, along with Cargill Inc. and a dozen other poultry companies, of violating state and federal laws limiting the disposal of animal waste in the Illinois River watershed.
