1481 Meats confirmed it became a federally inspected slaughter facility on Jan. 1, according to a report in the Minot Daily News shared on the company’s Facebook page.
The plant is one of 14 federally inspected meat facilities in North Dakota. In a statement, the company said federal inspection allows locally raised beef to access additional markets while meeting food safety standards. With a USDA inspection, the company can ship products across state lines. Its website lists fresh and frozen meats, dairy products and other items.
