Meat inspection in North Carolina
North Carolina runs its own State Meat and Poultry Inspection (MPI) program. State-inspected products carry a state mark and can be sold within North Carolina; products from plants under federal inspection carry the USDA mark of inspection. This is about North Carolina in general, not about this business, so ask the business how its meat is inspected. (USDA FSIS list of state inspection programs)
