Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption

Empower local processors to expand market access and strengthen American food security.

- Allow states to permit intrastate meat sales from custom-exempt processors, increasing options for farmers and consumers.
- Support reopening and expansion of small, community-based meat facilities to reduce bottlenecks and shorten supply chains.
- Enable direct farm-to-consumer, restaurant, and retailer sales without forcing small producers through costly federal inspection systems or provide inspectors free-of-charge
