United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials have stated that open-air poultry slaughtering and processing can be in compliance with the law 1, so unless a state agency official specifically said otherwise during the compiling of information for this chart, states that have adopted federal guidelines for USDA facility requirements are regarded as allowing open-air poultry processing. The On-Farm Poultry Processing Chart has three categories: one noting whether the state allows open-air poultry processing, another listing the venues a producer processing poultry on the farm can sell to, and a third category detailing state licensing requirements for on-farm poultry processing.
