HR 9251 United States House · 118th Congress

Increasing Small-Scale Poultry Processing Opportunities Act

The Increasing Small-Scale Poultry Processing Opportunities Act allows small-scale poultry processors to offer custom slaughter and processing services for household use, directly affecting small processors and poultry owners who want to process birds for personal consumption without commercial sale. It requires custom-basis products to be physically separated from those for sale, clearly marked "Not for Sale," and handled in a sanitary manner at official processing facilities. This amendment to the Poultry Products Inspection Act creates a regulatory pathway for small operations at official establishments while maintaining safety standards for non-commercial products. The change reduces barriers for small-scale processing without requiring full federal inspection for household-use items.
