One of three facilities exposed by Farm Transparency Project (FTP) in early 2023, for using excruciating carbon dioxide gas chambers to suffocate pigs prior to slaughter. An FTP investigator spent 9 hours hidden in a maintenance area above the chamber, to film the gassing of the pigs.

The slaughterhouse was a supplier for major supermarket Woolworths.

In April 2023, Animals Australia lodged a formal complaint with the government regulartor PrimeSafe, based on FTP's footage. PrimeSafe instructed the slaughterhouse to install cameras inside their gas chamber; rather than doing so, they decided to close down their slaughter operations permanently, laying off 16 workers.
