	Meat inspection requirements may change
		The Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1967 and the Poultry Products Inspection Act of 1968 both require processors to comply with or exceed federal inspection procedures, yet those products are not eligible to be shipped between states, a fact Conrad said limits competition and small producer’s ability to compete.

		Current regulations governing inspection allow meat from 34 foreign countries to be shipped throughout the U.S. because USDA has certified that the inspection programs in these foreign countries are equivalent to the Federal program.
