Non-Discrimination Statement          

In accordance with Federal Law and U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) policy, the Vermont Meat Inspection Section is prohibited from discrimination in its programs and services on the basis of race, color, religious creed, sex, political beliefs, age, disability, national origin, limited English proficiency, and where applicable,  marital status, familial status, parental status, sexual orientation, genetic information, reprisal, or because all or part of an individual’s income is derived from any public assistance program.

The Agency is in compliance with the American with Disabilities Act.
If you have questions concerning the ADA, or if you require alternative means for communication or program information (large print, audiotape, etc.) please contact the Vermont Meat Inspection Program at (802-828-2426 (voice)) or email at: AGR.MeatInspection@vermont.gov

Limited English Proficiency

If a person is in need of interpretation services, free language assistance is available. Please contact the Vermont Meat Inspection Program (802-828-2426 (voice)), or email at: AGR.MeatInspection@vermont.gov
 
The following plan will assist both the Vermont Agency of Agriculture Meat and Poultry Inspection Service and its recipients in ensuring meaningful access to all programs, service, activities, and benefits to the Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations, communities and groups within Vermont. Meaningful access is considered on the basis of four factors: (1) the number and proportion of LEP persons served or encountered in the eligible service population; (2) the frequency with which LEP individuals come into contact with the program, activity, or service; (3) the nature and importance of the program, activity, or service provided by the program; and (4) the resources available to the recipient and costs.
