Honey Baked Ham Legal Department

/Honey Baked Ham Legal Department

When a customer buys a honey ham sandwich, a portion of the proceeds go to the Police Athletic League. Erie honey ham is a token of appreciation for Erie County law enforcement. This is the second year Honeybaked Ham has taken the initiative to give back to all local law enforcement agencies in the county. Expect huge support from franchise managers and business support groups, there is no smoke and no mirrors there. You actually get the support you are promised. The Honey Baked Ham Company purchases its hams and turkeys from state-certified meat and poultry processors.  The produce arrives fully cooked at the company`s retail stores.1 The Department of Agriculture inspects hams and turkeys during slaughter and again during the cooking and curing process.   In Honey Baked`s retail stores, hams are sliced and glazed, turkeys are sliced, and both items are packaged for sale.   Prior to this dispute, the company`s retail stores were never subject to the control requirements of the Meat Inspection Act or the Poultry Control Act.   But after Honey Baked revealed plans to open kiosks in malls during its peak sales hours, the Department of Agriculture said federal inspection requirements would apply to the company`s retail stores that supply the kiosks.2 (No product preparation would take place at the kiosks, which are booths with refrigeration units.) When reasonable hours, minimal work, and no cooking are at the top of your list, see what it takes to reach the top of ours. The most reasonable explanation advocated by the Attorney General is that Congress added the exemption in Section 661(c)(2) of the Meat Inspection Act to clarify that retail stores were not the type of facility included in federal inspection requirements.   See 42 op.

Att`y Gen., pp. 467-68.   We come to the same conclusion with respect to the identical express exemption from the Poultry Inspection Act.   See 21 U.S.C. § 454(c)(2).   Congress amended the Poultry Inspection Act to include federal-state cooperation provisions (the exception of which is one) similar to those in the Meat Inspection Act.   See H.R. Rep.

No. 90-1333, p. 22 (1968), reprinted 1968 U.S.C.C.A.N. 3445-46. The Department`s adherence to its so-called “two-shop” policy also suggests that its interpretation of retail exemptions is arbitrary and has nothing to do with the purpose of meat and poultry control legislation.   Under this policy, which has not been published, a retail store appears to be permitted to manufacture products on its premises and sell them to customers in this country and elsewhere without triggering federal inspection requirements.   The policy only applies to individual store operations.   Since Honey Baked Ham owns many retail stores, it does not fall under the “two stores” policy.   Honey Baked Ham could presumably benefit from this policy if its retail stores were franchised like some of its competitors.   If the sale of products prepared in off-site outlets posed a health risk, it is impossible to understand why the form of the company`s organization should be decisive.   In short, the department`s “two store” policy further undermines its claim that public health concerns require federal inspection of baked honey retail stores that deliver ham and turkey to kiosks in nearby malls.
