| − | The '''Federal Meat Inspection Act of 1906''' was enacted June 30, 1906, as chapter 3913, 34 Stat. 674, and substantially amended by the Wholesome Meat Act 1967 (P.L. 90-201). It 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 meats considered “exotic” at this time, including venison and buffalo.
