Allow USDA-approved state-inspected meat and poultry into interstate commerce

Mandate promotes legislation (e.g., New Markets for State-Inspected Meat and Poultry Act) removing barriers so state-inspected products meeting equal-to federal standards can ship interstate.

Mandate

Mandate Ch. 10 (USDA) — Other Major Issues: promote legislation allowing state-inspected meat to be sold in interstate commerce; barriers for USDA-approved state-inspected facilities should be removed despite equal-to federal standards.

Undo plan

1) Pass equal-to interstate shipping with FSIS oversight audits intact. 2) Maintain humane slaughter and pathogen performance standards. 3) Support small processors without weakening consumer protections. 4) Harmonize poultry coverage across House/Senate approaches. 5) Verify: outbreak surveillance and small-plant entry metrics.
