Donnie King, President and CEO of Tyson Foods, discussed his 43-year career with the company in a September 2026 episode of the Shared Table podcast, where he spoke with Elanco CEO Jeff Simmons. King described starting on a poultry plant processing floor in 1982 and rising to CEO, saying he sees himself in other employees who started similarly. He stated that animal protein consumption is experiencing a "foundational shift," citing demand from GLP-1 users and an aging population, and he dismissed plant-based protein alternatives, saying they "did not taste good" and have ingredient statements "as long as your arm." On Tyson Foods' Q3 2026 earnings call in August 2026, King reported three consecutive quarters of volume and net sales growth, with the company gaining share in volume, dollars, and units, and achieving its highest-ever volume share in retail. He described prepared foods as "the jewel of our portfolio," citing gains in brands such as Hillshire Snacking, lunch meat, and Jimmy Dean breakfast. King said he does not view Tyson as a commodity chicken company, noting that about three quarters of the chicken segment's operating income now operates on a "pull business" model tied to committed customer demand. He acknowledged that beef "hasn't performed the way we expected" and said the company is "not waiting passively for the cycle to turn," while noting that reopening the Mexican border would take up to a year to fully impact cattle supplies.
