State-by-State* Review of On-Farm Poultry Processing Laws
Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund
Farm-To-Consumer Sales
In 1968, Congress passed Public Law 90-492, amending the Poultry Products Inspection Act. The amendments created exemptions allowing for the sale of uninspected poultry that is slaughtered and processed on a farm, meaning an inspector does not have to be present when the slaughtering and processing is taking place. The exemptions are codified in 9 CFR 381.10.
