Bubba,

Yes, the USDA was performing inspection duties at the Hallmark/Westland meat packing company. It is a smaller packing plant. All facilities regardless of size are Federally inspected by the USDA/FSIS if their product is shipped over state boarders.

Perhaps this link will answer some questions.
