§ 25022 Poultry Inspection Exemptions

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about poultry meat (like chicken or turkey) that comes from another state.
  • •If the poultry meat has an official stamp from another state's inspection service, California won't check it again.
  • •The other state's inspection rules must be as strict as California's rules.
  • •California's director must approve the other state's rules first.

Example

A grocery store in California sells chicken from Oregon.

If the chicken has an Oregon inspection stamp and Oregon's rules are as strict as California's (and California's director says it's okay), then California won't inspect the chicken again.
