Acorn: 1.3 TCR = 40% of Chickens, processing, fresh, frozen, canned, or cooked (except baby and pet food) BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Acorn safety composite

Acorn scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 54%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).
