FY 2016 Appropriation

Utah's meat inspection system ensures that meat and poultry coming from state-inspected facilities is safe, wholesome, and correctly labeled and packaged. The program staff inspects and regulates raw beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and turkey, as well as ready-to-eat and other processed products. Inspectors test for the presence of pathogens, toxins, drugs and chemical residues. Inspections are done before and after slaughter. Facilities are inspected for cleanliness and sanitation. According to the USDA, consumers spend one third of their annual food dollars on meat and poultry products.
