Nevada welcomed into USDA’s meat and poultry inspection program

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – The USDA has announced that the State of Nevada will be welcomed into its meat and poultry inspection program.

The USDA says that Nevada’s inclusion will expand local inspection capacity, food safety oversight, and boost market access for small processors.

“The Nevada State Meat and Poultry Inspection Program will significantly expand our local meat processing capacity, strengthen the supply chain, bolster Nevada’s agricultural economy and ensure greater access to safe, locally produced food,” said Governor Joe Lombardo. “This initiative was a priority in my first term, and I look forward to seeing the positive impacts of this program and enjoying our Nevada-raised meat products.”

Nevada is now the 30th state with an approved USDA program.
