    How would allowing states to set their own meat inspection standards instead of following federal requirements affect food safety outcomes across different regions?

  2. 02

    Which businesses—slaughterhouses, processors, restaurants, or retailers—would benefit most from this exemption, and who might face increased costs or liability?

  3. 03

    What evidence exists that state-level inspection systems can maintain the same safety standards as the current federal inspection framework for intrastate meat sales?
