Violation: 417.5(a)(3), 417.5(b), 417.5(c)

Citation: On 10/20/2010 at approximately 1300 while performing 03H02, I observed the following noncompliances on the HACCP record form for the Not Fully Cooked Products for the Ham product. The HACCP states that the [redacted] The temperature of [redacted] degrees Fahrenheit was recorded for CCP #1 for the internal temperature a time with no initials of the person monitoring the CCP, CCP #2 there was a time recorded with no actual temperature or initials of the person monitoring the information, and CCP #2 there was only a time, no actual temperature or initials of the person monitoring the CCP. The HACCP also states that [redacted] I brought this to attention, he stated that they were changing the temperature of the internal temperature to [redacted] degrees Fahrenheit and the Data Logger is programmed not to shut off until the internal temperature reaches [redacted] degrees Fahrenheit and records the temperature and time that the CCP's are met. I asked to see a read out of the information, he then informed me that the Data Logger was not in operation and that he used a hand held thermometer for the temperature readings. He stated that he wasn't thinking and recorded the same temperature as he had for the Bacon product. The Establishment's hams contain in sodium nitrite and they have cooking instructions on them.
