The Poultry Products Inspection Act (1957) applies to poultry products containing more than ________% poultry.

• A. 5%
• B. 2%
• C. 10%
• D. 1%

Answer: (B)

The amount of poultry in a product determines whether it falls under this act. If poultry makes up more than two percent of the product, it is regulated as a poultry product under the Poultry Products Inspection Act, meaning it must come from inspected plants and meet mandatory inspection, labeling, and sanitary standards. This two-percent threshold establishes when poultry is the primary ingredient and subject to USDA oversight. So, the correct threshold is two percent.
