Ethical Profile

Mixed.

ImmuCell Corporation receives a mixed ethical rating. While the company's focus on preventative animal health products like First Defense and the California Mastitis Test is seen as beneficial, indirectly supporting human health and responsible antibiotic use, reports suggest challenges in employee relations. Employee reviews on platforms like Indeed and Glassdoor point to alleged dissatisfaction with pay and benefits, a toxic work environment, and a perceived lack of management support for its 75 employees. Information regarding ethical sourcing, environmental impact, and broader animal welfare practices beyond product efficacy remains largely undisclosed.
