§ 22031 Cattle Slaughter Inspection Requirement

• •You can't run a business that kills cows for meat unless you get special permission from the USDA.
• •This rule doesn't apply to places that only process animal parts (like rendering plants).
• •If you break this rule, you're breaking the law.

A farmer starts selling beef from cows he kills on his farm without getting USDA approval.

This is against the law because the farmer didn't get the required permission from the USDA before selling the meat.
