PRIME Act

This bill would change federal meat inspection rules so that meat slaughtered and prepared at custom slaughter facilities does not need to pass federal inspection if it stays within the same state. Right now, custom-slaughtered meat can only be used for personal, household, guest, or employee purposes, but this bill would also allow that meat to be sold to consumers, restaurants, grocery stores, hotels, and other businesses within the state. The meat must be prepared following the laws of the state where the facility is located. The bill does not override any state laws about slaughtering animals or selling meat products.
