Enacted June 30, 1906, as chapter 3913, 34 Stat. 674, and substantially amended by the Wholesome Meat Act 1967 (P.L. 90-201), requires USDA to inspect all cattle, sheep, swine, [[goat]]s, and [[horse]]s when slaughtered and processed into [[product]]s for human consumption. The primary goals of the law are to prevent adulterated or misbranded livestock and [[product]]s from being sold as [[food]], and to ensure that [[meat]] and [[meat]] [[product]]s are slaughtered and processed under sanitary conditions. These requirements apply to [[animal]]s and their [[product]]s produced and sold within states as well as to imports, which must be inspected under equivalent foreign standards. The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for all [[meat]]s considered “exotic” at this time, including venison and buffalo.
