TSN vs OC Comparison

Tyson Foods is a protein-focused food producer, selling raw chicken, beef, pork, and prepared foods. Chicken and beef are its two largest segments, each comprising about one-third of US sales.

However, most of these are in product categories rife with competition where Tyson does not have a massive market share lead.
