These States have given up their meat or poultry inspection programs, or
both, as indicated in the table below. USDA assumed the inspection
function of these plants in addition to plants already under USDA
inspection. State inspected plants would normally qualify for federal
inspection due to the "equal to" requirement for state inspection programs.
All plants under Federal inspection are eligible to sell in interstate commerce.
