Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA)

The Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) is a U.S. law that ensures all poultry, like chicken and turkey, sold to consumers is safe, properly labeled, and processed under sanitary conditions. It mandates regular inspections of poultry slaughter and processing facilities by government inspectors to prevent contamination and ensure quality. The act also regulates labeling to protect consumers from false or misleading information. Overall, the PPIA helps maintain high standards in poultry production, safeguarding public health and providing confidence in the products they purchase.
