Welcome to the Division of Meat Inspection
The Division of Meat Inspection is charged with verifying that each state inspected meat and poultry establishment produces safe, wholesome, and properly labeled products in a sanitary environment. DMI Staff is responsible for regulating 260 meat and poultry establishments statewide. Of those, 177 are fully-inspected facilities and provide slaughtering and processing operations for resale. The remaining 83 establishments operate under a "custom exempt" status and provide a "not-for-sale" service to individuals who wish to have their own animals slaughtered.
