AGRICULTURE/MEAT: Prohibits inspection of certain meat products

Summary

The bill creates an exemption so that livestock producers in Louisiana can sell meat they raise directly to consumers without state meat inspection, provided the meat is processed at a licensed custom slaughter facility and sold only within the state. It requires clear labeling and a written notice that the product is uninspected, and it bars resale or distribution through grocery stores, restaurants, or wholesale channels. The measure is intended to support local agriculture and give consumers more direct access to locally produced meat.
