S.C. asks USDA
to assume meat,
poultry inspection
WASHINGTON, D.C. - South
Carolina has asked the U.S.
Department of Agriculture to
assume responsibility for its state
meat and poultry inspection
programs, effective Feb. 22.
Donald L. Houston, ad
ministrator of USDA’s Food Safety
and Inspection Service, said the
state has advised USDA that it can
no longer continue funding its
inspection programs.
Houston said under the federal
meat and poultry inspection acts,
any state must give up its in
spection program if it cannot
enforce requirements at least
equal to those at the federal level.
“When USDA assumes
responsibility for state programs,
it is usually voluntary and most
often for financial reasons,”
Houston said.
To ensure a smooth transition to
the federal inspection program,
USDA is working closely with
officials in the state. The transition
to federal inspection means 118
meat and poultry plants now under
state inspection in South Carolina
and operating solely within the
state must apply for federal
inspection services.
When USDA assumes inspection
responsibilities in South Carolina,
it will be responsible for state meat
inspection programs in 24 states
and poultry inspection in 28 states.
