HB 753 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

AGRICULTURE/MEAT: Prohibits inspection of certain meat products

HB 753 exempts locally raised livestock products sold directly to consumers from Louisiana's meat inspection requirements. It allows producers (e.g., farmers raising cattle, goats, or rabbits) to sell meat processed at licensed custom slaughter facilities directly to "informed end consumers" within Louisiana, provided the products are labeled with a specific disclosure: "THIS PRODUCT WAS PRODUCED AND PROCESSED WITHOUT STATE OR FEDERAL INSPECTION. FOR INTRASTATE USE ONLY. NOT FOR RESALE." The bill prohibits resale to retailers, restaurants, or interstate commerce and requires producers to maintain sales records for one year. It does not affect federal inspection laws or allow interstate sales of uninspected meat.
