§ 18659 Federal Meat Inspection Definition

This law explains what the term 'Federal Meat Inspection Act' means by naming the original 1907 law and the later amendment that changed it.

Key Takeaways

•The term refers to a specific federal law about meat inspection.
•It includes the original 1907 act and the later amendment called the Wholesome Meat Act.
•The definition was updated in 1970 when the statute was repealed and added again.

Example

A meat processing plant wants to sell its products across state lines and must prove the meat meets federal inspection standards.

“Federal Meat Inspection Act” means the act so entitled approved March 4, 1907 (34 Stat. 1260; 21 U.S.C., Sec. 71 et seq.), as amended by the Wholesome Meat Act (81 Stat. 584; 21 U.S.C., Sec. 601 et seq.). (Repealed and added by Stats. 1970, Ch. 1385.)
