Publication Method of Lists of States With and Without State Meat or Poultry Inspection Programs

Document 2025-11816 is a Final Rule published by the Department of Agriculture in the Federal Register on June 26, 2025, with an effective date of June 26, 2025. FSIS is amending the Federal meat and poultry products inspection regulations to remove its lists of states that do not operate their own meat or poultry inspection (MPI) programs that are "at least equal to" FSIS' Federal inspection programs and have therefore been designated for FSIS' Federal inspection. FSIS is also amending the regulations to remove or revise related cross references to the lists. Going forward, FSIS will maintain lists of states with and without MPI programs on its website to ensure that the public has accurate and timely access to information about State and Federal inspection programs.
