The Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act, or PRIME Act , aims to amend the Federal Meat Inspection Act by creating an exemption from federal inspection requirements for certain custom slaughter facilities. This legislation seeks to reduce regulatory burdens on these facilities, potentially fostering local meat processing and distribution. Specifically, the bill exempts the slaughter of animals and the preparation of carcasses at a custom slaughter facility from federal inspection, provided these operations comply with the laws of the State in which the facility is located. The exemption is further conditioned on the meat products being distributed exclusively within that same state. Distribution is permitted to household consumers directly, or to various in-state establishments such as restaurants, hotels, boarding houses, and grocery stores. These establishments must either prepare meals served directly to consumers or offer meat products for sale directly to consumers within the state. Importantly, the Act explicitly states that its provisions do not preempt any existing state laws related to custom slaughter or the sale of meat and meat food products.
