Meat processed by custom processors may not be sold to anyone and may only be consumed by the animal's owners. This program also inspects custom processing facilities that process poultry. Poultry processing facilities are inspected for proper sanitation, record-keeping, and labeling. Poultry processed by licensed custom processors may be sold to individuals and to retail establishments.
