Package guide
Where do I find the EST number?
On many meat, poultry, and egg-product packages, the USDA mark of inspection contains an establishment identifier. It may appear with “EST.” or a prefix such as “P-” or “M-”.
Illustrated package guidance is coming soon
A source-reviewed guide will be added in a later implementation phase. For now, look near the USDA mark of inspection and enter the identifier as it appears on the package.
