According to the company’s website, Allen Harim plans to process what it calls a “ginseng bird”, a smaller bird named for the stew in which chicken is an ingredient. It is much smaller than traditional broilers, weighing in at just 2 lbs. Allen Harim intends to process the ginseng birds to meet the demands of a growing Korean population in the United States.
Seaford, Del.-based Allen Harim also is planning to upgrade the former pickle plant with new floor drains, refrigeration systems, processing equipment and a wastewater treatment system.
