Meat Inspection Methods in Interstate Packing Plants
The U S government requires inspection of all meat plants engaged in interstate and foreign commerce. Live animal checks identify suspects, then carcass processing is halted if disease is seen. Carcasses go to a specialized room for final study. Diseases listed include tuberculosis and actinomycosis in cattle, hog cholera in swine, with state inspections rare. Packers accept federal oversight as commercially valuable.
