Compliance requirement
🥩 Inspected meat & jerky
What it covers
Meat and poultry sold as a product — jerky, cured meats, sausage, and packaged cuts.
Who regulates it
USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service (FSIS). Florida has no state slaughter-inspection program, so meat sold as a product is federally inspected.
What a maker submits
A USDA FSIS Grant of Inspection for your establishment, or proof the product is made from USDA-inspected meat in an inspected facility (retail-exempt).
