§ 25704 Poultry Meat Sales Exemption

Key Takeaways

  • •This rule is about selling chicken meat from your own farm.
  • •If you raise chickens, kill them, clean them, and sell them all on your farm, this rule doesn’t apply to you.
  • •You can only sell the chicken meat directly to people who will eat it, not to stores or others who will resell it.
  • •All the chicken you sell must be from your farm and sold right there.

Example

A farmer raises chickens on their land, kills and cleans them, and sells the meat at a little stand on their farm to neighbors.

This farmer doesn’t have to follow the usual rules because they sell all their chicken meat right on their farm to people who will take it home to eat, not to sell again.
