'One of the latest claims we’ve seen all across social media relates to fires at food processing plants across the country. We verify if they\'re being set on purpRecent fires at food processing plants across the U.S. have several people speculating online if something else is behind them.  This tweet notes an \"odd coincidence\" that \"18 U.S. food processing facilities burned down in the last six months.\"  In a statement, Little told us “We are not aware of any concerted effort to set food processing facilities on fire.”  In an email, Super told us “I can only speak for chicken, but like any manufacturing plant/industry, there are generally a few fires that occur each year across the country. Most of them are contained rather quickly.”  Gazdziak agrees, saying “We\'ve not seen anything that that points to it being suspicious in any way. A lot of them seem to be mechanical failures, or just you know, very unfortunate, tragic things that happened. But nothing that was deliberate.”  Let’s break down the numbers on what we learned from fire officials:  11 of the fires were either ruled accidental, or no foul play was suspected Six are still under investigation One was at a vacant building that once housed a meat plant, but no longer does Another note: while the tweet mentions 18 fires in six months in the U.S., only 12 of them actually happened in that time frame, and one happened in Canada.  According to a 2019 report from the USDA, the U.S. has about 36,000 food and beverage processing establishments in operation.   Gazdiak says fires at just 18 plants would not cause a disruption to the food supply.
