Excerpt
A quarter of a century ago, 1927, saw the small beginning of the present official grading and inspection programs for poultry. From that date on, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has considered the needs and problems of poultry producers and handlers, as well as the interests of consumers, in its work on poultry grading and inspection.
The standards for quality on which poultry grades are based have been improved. So have the grading and inspection programs. Sanitary requirements have been set up; they must be met by poultry processing plants that wish to use either the grading or the inspection programs of the U. S. D. A. In recent years special attention has been given to designs for poultry labels, to make them more helpful as buying guides for consumers.
