Interstate Sales of State-Inspected Meat and Poultry

Current understanding

The New Markets for State-Inspected Meat and Poultry Act of 2021, identified as introduced, would allow state-inspected meat and poultry to enter interstate commerce without participation in the federal Cooperative Interstate Shipment Program. This would expand potential markets for local processors and the farmers supplying them, potentially broadening consumer access to their products; effects on food prices and supply-chain resilience are not established by this finding.
