The Tucker plant was built in 1969 and produces several Hormel products, including precooked bacon, Hormel® chili, and Dinty Moore® stew.
According to reports, the reduction in force is because the company decided to stop producing precooked bacon at the plant.
The company said the employees who will be laid off will receive a severance package.
