A small exception… 🧐

📄🥩 With big consequences! A bill that would allow new ways for small producers and butchers to sell products across state lines has been introduced! 

• While raw meat can't be sold between states without being processed at a USDA inspection facility, the pandemic has shown that the number of such facilities needed to meet consumer demand wasn't enough. So the Direct Intestate Retail Exemption for Certain Transaction Act (DIRECT Act) would allow processors, butchers, and retail processors to sell limited quantities through e-commerce directly to consumers.
