Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Smithfield Foods, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:26, 9 February 2023 (UTC)


 * The current citation for the sentence, Smithfield's 10k, supports my edits. Among other inaccuracies, the current (reverted) version of the intro sentence claims that Smithfield is an "independent" subsidiary.  As the 10k shows, Smithfield is a wholly-owned subsidiary.  The word "independent" is at best meaningless fluff and at worst an untested legal conclusion.  Changing it to say "wholly-owned" makes the sentence more factual.
 * Similarly, the claim that Smithfield is an "American" company is presently unsourced and is deeply misleading. I'm sure you agree it would be inaccurate to call Volkswagen US an American company.  VW US is the US-based subsidiary of an unambiguously German company.  Similarly, Smithfield is the US-based wholly-owned subsidiary of a Chinese company. 2603:6011:BD23:CDF0:83E:F746:A296:80D7 (talk) 22:36, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
