Exempts livestock owners from meat inspection if they slaughter animals for personal use or household.
The Livestock Owned by Communities to Advance Local Foods Act of 2025 amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act to exempt livestock owners from inspection requirements if they slaughter animals for personal use, household, nonpaying guests, or employees. This applies to the preparation and transportation of carcasses, parts, meat, and meat food products, provided the owner maintains custody and identification of the products. The exemption also applies if an owner designates an agent to assist in the slaughter, preparation, or transportation.
