Last week, I posted about USDA grading, but I think there was some confusion about the difference between Grading and Inspection.

USDA Inspection is required to sell meat in the US. There is an exemption where you can pay to have an animal harvested as a service, but you cannot sell that meat. All meat sold in the US has been inspected and Passed.

USDA Grading is a voluntary service that applies value to carcasses and cuts based on eating quality (taste and tenderness) and other factors.

Both are regulated by part of USDA, but under different services. Grading is paid for by the packers, whereas Inspection is paid for by the government.
