Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

Processing Revival and Intrastate Meat Exemption Act or the PRIME Act This bill exempts from federal inspection requirements animals and meats that are slaughtered and prepared at custom animal slaughter facilities for distribution within the state. Under current law, a custom slaughter exemption applies if the meat is slaughtered exclusively for personal, household, guest, or employee uses. Specifically, the bill expands the federal inspection exemption to include the slaughter of animals or the preparation of carcasses, meat, and meat food products that are <ul> <li>slaughtered and prepared at a custom slaughter facility in accordance with the laws of the state where the facility is located; and </li> <li>prepared exclusively for distribution to household consumers in the state or restaurants, hotels, boarding houses, grocery stores, or other establishments in the state that either prepare meals served directly to consumers or offer meat and food products for sale directly to consumers in the state. </li> </ul> The bill does not preempt any state law concerning (1) the slaughter of animals or the preparation of carcasses, meat, and meat food products at a custom slaughter facility; or (2) the sale of meat or meat food products.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If passed, this bill would benefit small-scale meat producers and processors, as well as consumers who want to buy meat directly from local sources. It could increase the availability of locally-sourced meat options, particularly in rural or underserved areas. However, it may also raise some food safety concerns from those who believe federal inspection standards are important to protect public health.
