Retail Exemptions Adjusted Dollar
Limitations
Food Safety and Inspection
Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
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 2013, the dollar limitation
for meat and meat food products is
being increased from $67,300 to $69,600
and for poultry products from $51,700
to $54,500. FSIS is changing the dollar
limitations from calendar year 2012
based on price changes for these
products evidenced by the Consumer
Price Index.
DATES: Effective Date: This notice is
effective April 23, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John
O’Connell, Policy Issuances Division,
Office of Policy and Program
Development, FSIS, U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Room 6083 South Building,
1400 Independence Avenue SW.,
Washington, DC 20250–3700;
Telephone: (202) 720–0345.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
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,
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 requirements
for inspection 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 store for
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 2012 reveals an annual
average price increase for meat and meat
food products at 3.4 percent and for
poultry products at 5.5 percent. When
rounded to the nearest $100, the dollar
limitation for meat and meat food
products increased by $2,300 and the
dollar limitation for poultry products
increased by $2,800. 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 $69,600 for meat and
meat food products and to $54,500 for
poultry products for calendar year 2013,
in accordance with 9 CFR
303.1(d)(2)(iii)(b) and
381.10(d)(2)(iii)(b).

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 requirements for inspection 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

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

publishes a notice of the adjusted dollar limitations in the Federal

The CPI for 2012 reveals an annual average price increase for meat
and meat food products at 3.4 percent and for poultry products at 5.5
percent. When rounded to the nearest $100, the dollar limitation for
meat and meat food products increased by $2,300 and 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 $69,600
for meat and meat food products and to $54,500 for poultry products for
calendar year 2013, in accordance with 9 CFR 303.1(d)(2)(iii)(b) and
