To amend the Federal Meat Inspection Act and the Poultry Products Inspection Act to allow for the interstate internet sales of certain State-inspected meat and poultry, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act and Poultry Products Inspection Act to allow retail stores, restaurants, and similar establishments to sell State-inspected meat and poultry products over the internet and ship them across state lines. The products must be shipped directly to household consumers in normal retail quantities and cannot be exported to foreign countries. The bill removes barriers to interstate internet sales of these State-inspected products while maintaining the State inspection requirement.
