Expanding Local Meat Processing Act of 2025

This bill exempts small-scale meat processors from a federal regulation that restricts certain ownership ties between meat packers and market agencies. It directly affects small meat processors with daily slaughter capacities under 2,000 cattle/sheep or 10,000 hogs, and market agencies that have financial or operational relationships with these processors. The key provision requires market agencies to disclose the name of any packer they sell livestock to and the nature of their relationship. This change aims to reduce regulatory barriers for smaller processors while maintaining transparency in livestock sales.
