NOTE: In this section and the one following on Imports and Exports, we address the movement
\nof meat and meat products. Movement of live animals in interstate and international trade is
\nbeyond the scope of this project – as states and countries have very rigid and specific
\nrequirements for live animal movement. It is as important to contact the exporting state for the
\nappropriate health tests required, as it is the importing state to determine what papers are needed.
\nPlease consult the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets for information on
\nmoving live animals for interstate and international trade.<\/p>\n
Intrastate refers to transactions within a single state. A sale made from a farmer in
\nOwego, NY to a customer in Ithaca, NY is an intrastate sale.<\/p>\n
Interstate refers to transactions across state lines. This is trade between two states. A sale
\nmade between a farmer in Whitehall, NY and a customer in Rutland, VT is an interstate
\nsale.<\/p>\n
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the Sanitary Food Transportation Act (SFTA)
\nof the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), has authority over food in interstate commerce
\nunless the food is regulated by FSIS. Full language for the SFTA is here:<\/p>\n
https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/media\/104455\/download.<\/p>\n
Establishments can apply for federal or state inspection.17 Pursuant to a cooperative agreement
\nwith FSIS, a state can operate its own Meat and Poultry Inspection (\u201cMPI\u201d) program. A state\u2019s
\nMPI program must enforce requirements that are \u201cat least equal to\u201d the federal standards
\ncontained in the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, the
\nregulations implementing these laws, and the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act of 1978. Under
\nfederal law, meat and poultry inspected under a state program are limited to intrastate commerce,
\nunless the state also participates in an additional, separate cooperative program called the
\nCooperative Interstate Shipment Program. Indiana, Maine, North Dakota, Ohio and Wisconsin
\nwere the five states participating in this program in 2018.18<\/p>\n
In contrast, non-amenable meat from state licensed 5-A plants is eligible for sales in all states,
\nincluding states with state inspection programs. Just because it is eligible for sale does not
\nguarantee that it is legally allowed to be sold in a particular state. State or local health codes may
\nprohibit the sale of state inspected non-amenable meat. When Chronic Wasting Disease was
\ndiscovered east of the Mississippi River, many states closed their borders to the sale of not only
\nlive cervids (mammals in the deer family), but also to the meat from these farmed species.<\/p>\n
It is up to the producer to know the regulations of the jurisdiction to which he will be shipping
\nhis or her products. It is recommended that the producer call the State Department of Agriculture
\nand the State Department of Fish and Game (or Natural Resources) to see what products are
\nlegally allowed to be sold in that state, what products are allowed to come into that state and
\nwhat, if any, inspections are required for it to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
