urging the New Hampshire congressional delegation to sponsor legislation relative to, and urging the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to adopt regulations, allowing for small scale and very small slaughter plants to use the Federal Meat Inspection Act’s Custom Exempt meat processing inspection criteria with a third-party inspector present at slaughter, so that processed beef, pork, lamb, and chevron (goat meat) can be sold as individual cuts directly from the farm producer to the end consumer.

This resolution urges New Hampshire's congressional delegation to sponsor federal legislation and the USDA to adopt regulations that would allow small-scale slaughter plants to use the Federal Meat Inspection Act's Custom Exempt process with a third-party inspector present. This change would enable farmers to process beef, pork, lamb, and goat meat at their farms and sell individual cuts directly to consumers, rather than requiring USDA on-site inspection. It directly affects small farms and local processors in New Hampshire and similar communities facing limited slaughter capacity. The policy shift aims to increase local meat access by expanding existing inspection flexibility currently available for poultry and non-amenable species.
