PRIME Act
2/1/2024, 8:30 AMSummary of Bill HR 4515
The PRIME Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 4515, is a piece of legislation currently being considered in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to amend the Federal Meat Inspection Act to allow for the sale of custom-slaughtered meat within states. This means that farmers and ranchers would be able to sell meat from animals that they have raised and had slaughtered at a custom facility, without having to go through the traditional USDA inspection process.Supporters of the PRIME Act argue that it would give small-scale farmers and ranchers more flexibility and control over their businesses, as well as provide consumers with access to locally-raised, high-quality meat. They also believe that it would help to support rural economies and promote sustainable agriculture practices.
Opponents of the bill, however, have raised concerns about food safety and the potential for increased risk of foodborne illnesses if meat is not subject to USDA inspection. They argue that the current inspection process is in place to protect consumers and ensure that meat is safe to eat. Overall, the PRIME Act is a controversial piece of legislation that has sparked debate among lawmakers, farmers, and consumers. It remains to be seen whether or not it will be passed into law.
