Questions

How many poultry slaughter plants does Maryland have?

7 establishments in Maryland carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 5 counties. 1 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.

What does the poultry flag mean?

Establishments with a slaughter flag for chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese or other birds under the Poultry Products Inspection Act. Small flocks also have federal exemptions (the 1,000 and 20,000 bird exemptions in 9 CFR 381.10) that do not appear here because no grant of inspection is involved.

Are state-inspected plants included?

No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Maryland has no state meat inspection program, so federal inspection and the custom exemption are the two routes available.
