Exempts small scale red meat producers from Federal Meat Inspection Act requirements.
The bill amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act to exempt small scale red meat producers from inspection requirements. Producers who slaughter a limited number of animals per year and do not sell their meat in commerce are exempt. The exemption does not apply if the producer exceeds certain thresholds. Meat from exempt producers can be distributed directly to consumers if it meets labeling and safety standards.
