SB2459

SB2459 amends the Illinois Meat and Poultry Inspection Act to include siluriformes fish in the definition of "amenable" and mandates inspection.

SB2459 amends the Illinois Meat and Poultry Inspection Act by expanding the definition of "amenable" to include edible portions of siluriformes fish, carcasses, or products. The bill also mandates that all siluriformes, carcasses, or products entering any official establishment for wholesale distribution must be inspected, handled, stored, prepared, packaged, marked, and labeled according to specified federal regulations. This ensures that such products meet safety and labeling standards before entering the market.
