Boosting Small Poultry Processing: Combining Commercial and Custom Slaughter Services.

This law allows small poultry processing facilities to offer both commercial slaughter (for products sold to the public) and custom slaughter (for poultry owners' personal consumption) at the same location. This change increases local processing options for individuals raising poultry for their households. Strict rules mandate separating and clearly labeling custom-processed products to maintain food safety standards for commercial goods.
Key points
Poultry facilities can now perform both inspected commercial slaughter and custom-exempt slaughter in the same establishment.
Increases local processing availability for individuals who raise poultry solely for their own household use.
Custom-processed products must be kept strictly separate from commercial products and clearly marked "Not for Sale."
