Retail Exemptions Adjusted Dollar 

Limitations 

AGENCY: Food Safety and Inspection 

Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Food Safety and 

Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing 

the dollar limitations on the amount of 

meat and meat food products, poultry, 

and poultry products that a retail store 

can sell to hotels, restaurants, and 

similar institutions without 

disqualifying itself for exemption from 

Federal inspection requirements. In 

accordance with FSIS’s regulations, for 

calendar year 2015, the dollar limitation 

for meat and meat food products is 

being increased from $70,400 to $76,900 

and for poultry products from $57,100 

to $58,200. FSIS is changing the dollar 

limitations from calendar year 2014 to 

reflect price changes for these products, 

as evidenced by the Consumer Price 

Index. 

DATES: Effective Date: April 23, 2015.

Kouba, Issuances Staff, Office of Policy 

and Program Development, Food Safety

(202) 690–6510. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Federal Meat Inspection Act (21 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and the Poultry 

Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451 

et seq.) provide a comprehensive 

statutory framework to ensure that meat, 

meat food products, poultry, and 

poultry products prepared for commerce 

are wholesome, not adulterated, and 

properly labeled and packaged. 

Statutory provisions requiring 

inspection of the preparation or 

processing of meat, meat food, poultry, 

and poultry products do not apply to 

operations of types traditionally and 

usually conducted at retail stores and 

restaurants when those operations are 

conducted at any retail store or 

restaurant or similar retail-type 

establishment for sale in normal retail 

quantities (21 U.S.C. 661(c)(2) and 

454(c)(2)). FSIS’s regulations (9 CFR 

303.1(d) and 381.10(d)) elaborate on the 

conditions under which inspection 

requirements do not apply to retail 

operations involving the preparation of 

meat and meat food, and processing of 

poultry and poultry products. 

Sales to Hotels, Restaurants, and 

Similar Institutions 

Under these regulations, sales to 

hotels, restaurants, and similar 

institutions (other than household 

consumers) disqualify a retail store from 

exemption if the product sales exceed 

either of two maximum limits: 25 

percent of the dollar value of total 

product sales or the calendar year dollar 

limitation set by the Administrator. The 

dollar limitation is adjusted 

automatically during the first quarter of 

the year if the Consumer Price Index 

(CPI), published by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics, shows an increase or decrease 

of more than $500 in the price of the 

same volume of product for the previous 

year. FSIS publishes a notice of the 

adjusted dollar limitations in the 

Federal Register. (See 9 CFR 

303.1(d)(2)(iii)(b) and 

381.10(d)(2)(iii)(b).) 

The CPI for 2014 reveals an annual 

average price increase for meat and meat 

food products at 9.24 percent and for 

poultry products at 1.97 percent. When 

rounded to the nearest $100, the dollar 

limitation for meat and meat food 

products increased by $6,500 and the 

dollar limitation for poultry products 

increased by $1,100. Because the dollar 

limitation of meat and meat food 

products and poultry products 

increased by more than $500, FSIS is 

increasing the dollar limitation on sales 

to hotels, restaurants, and similar 

institutions to $76,900 for meat and 

meat food products and to $58,200 for 

poultry products for calendar year 2015, 

in accordance with 9 CFR 

303.1(d)(2)(iii)(b) and 

381.10(d)(2)(iii)(b).
