Bill overview
The American Protein Processing Modernization Act directs the Secretary of Agriculture to establish criteria for reviewing requests from meat and poultry establishments to operate at reduced inspection rates. The Secretary must respond to these requests within 90 days, either approving or denying them based on food safety standards. Existing establishments operating under alternate rates will continue to do so until a formal decision is made, and the bill outlines a process for addressing noncompliance and adjusting inspection rates if necessary, with consideration for impacts on producers and animal welfare.
