The program provides voluntary inspection of abattoirs and meat processing plants to help ensure food safety.

Under the Domestic Meat Inspection Program, abattoirs and meat processing plants request inspection which is provided through a contract between the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.  Establishments receiving domestic meat inspection are able to sell meat within Saskatchewan. According to bylaws in Saskatoon, meat sold in this city must be inspected.

Abattoirs and meat processors wishing to be eligible for domestic meat inspection must abide by the standards set forth in the Domestic Meat Inspection Program standards.
