Senate meat inspection bill ties state standards to federal rules
A Senate bill would require states to establish inspection standards at least equal to federal ones within two to three years. Federal inspection could extend to state plants upon governor request, or be imposed if adulteration or public health danger is found. Governors would be given a chance to act first, with ongoing federal review and annual reports to Congress. The committee argued the measure protects consumers and benefits producers by removing unscrupulous operators.
