What does the very small plants flag mean?

Establishments FSIS classes as Very Small, fewer than ten employees or under $2.5 million in annual sales. These are the plants that do custom work for households and cut for small farms, and the ones most likely to have a waiting list.

Are state-inspected plants included?

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