Address: 1868 California Rd, Richlandtown, PA 18955
Establishment No.: m09704
USDA Inspection Report: 18 Oct 2010
Code: 06D01
Violation: 416.1, 416.3(a), 416.4(b)
Citation: At approximately 0730 hours, while performing a scheduled preoperational sanitation inspection in the slaughter area, I observed the following Sanitation Performance Standards noncompliance: 1. The housing of the horn saw had hair and fat residue from the previous days operation. 2. The drop cord for the hide pull and carcass lift at knocking were covered with fecal material. 3. The drop cord for the carcass lift at gutting and the cord for the brisket saw are frayed with the outer shell peeling and broken which makes them difficult to clean. All areas are non product contact areas. The horn saw and two drop cords were immediately cleaned and no further regulatory action was taken. Mr. [redacted] was verbally notified of the noncompliance and the failure to comply with sections 416.1, 416.3(a), and 416.4(b) of the Meat Inspection Regulations Sanitation Performance Standards. The establishments sanitation form dated 10/18/2010 did not record that this noncompliance was observed during the establishments preoperational sanitation inspection. There are no similar noncompliance records on file. This document serves as written notification that your failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in additional regulatory or administrative action.
