What do producers of meat produced under insanitary conditions face by way of criminal sanctions?
Under the Federal Meat Inspection Act – here are the criminal provisions:
The Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) is primarily codified in Title 21 of the United States Code (USC), sections 601-695. Provisions concerning criminal penalties under the FMIA are primarily found in Section 678 of Title 21.
Here’s a breakdown of the relevant sections regarding criminal penalties:
Key Provisions Relating to Criminal Penalties
