§ 22084 Meat Sales To Peddlers Restricted

Key Takeaways

  • •Only big meat sellers or licensed slaughterhouses can sell meat to people who go around selling meat (peddlers).
  • •If you're not one of these big sellers, you can't give or sell meat to a peddler.
  • •This rule doesn’t apply if the animal was checked and killed the right way under another law (Section 22007).

Example

Your neighbor raises cows and wants to sell some meat to a guy who drives around selling meat from his truck.

Your neighbor can’t do this unless he’s a big meat seller or has a license to kill animals for meat. If he does it anyway, he’s breaking the law.
