Poultry Products Inspection Act

The Poultry Products Inspection Act is a law that ensures poultry products like chicken and turkey are safe to eat, properly labeled, and not adulterated or misbranded. It requires federal inspectors to oversee processing plants to enforce strict hygiene and safety standards throughout slaughter and processing. The goal is to protect consumers by verifying that poultry is safe, wholesome, and accurately represented on labels. This regulation helps prevent foodborne illnesses and ensures consistent quality in poultry products sold in the United States.
