Posts - Bill - HR 5341 LOCAL Foods Act of 2025
house 09/11/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to update the Federal Meat Inspection Act to allow certain livestock owners to be exempt from federal inspection requirements when the meat is exclusively for personal use and shared within their household or with nonpaying guests and employees. This change aims to support local food practices while keeping accountability measures in place.

If safety checks disappear, so does my trust — who’s watching out for us now?

Maybe trust but verify should’ve stayed the motto; exemptions need a fine print reality check.

I like the local vibe, but I don’t want my steak to come with a side of risk.
