When a facility has applied for USDA inspection and been granted and does not use the facility immediately for meat products but instead make nonusda products, will it be penalised?
Last Updated: July 17, 2009
If you mean by "nonusda" that you are continuing to do custom-exempt processing of meat products, you should be fine, as long as you continue to follow all the rules, e.g. on sanitation, pertinent to custom-exempt processing. A USDA facility is allowed to do custom-exempt processing as well. For example, some USDA facilities will do custom-exempt game processing during hunting season.
