Allowing State-Inspected Meat and Poultry Sales Across State Lines via Internet
This law permits small stores and restaurants to sell state-inspected meat and poultry directly to consumers in other states through online orders. This change gives citizens greater access to diverse meat and poultry products while supporting smaller, local producers who previously faced restrictions on interstate sales. It opens up interstate markets for products previously limited to in-state commerce.
Key points
Retailers and restaurants can ship state-inspected meat and poultry to customers in other states via the internet.
Sales must be shipped directly to households and limited to normal retail quantities, preventing wholesale trade.
