Putting Glass Walls on Pennsylvania Slaughterhouses So We Can See Behind Closed Doors
B.C. Natural Chicken

Address: 2609 U.S. Rt 22, Fredricksburg, PA 17026
Establishment No.: p493

USDA Inspection Report: 3 Feb 2012

Code: 01B02
Violation: 416.13(c), 416.4(a), 416.4(b)

Citation: At approximately 0535 hrs. after the plant pre-operational sanitation and prior to the start of operations, I observed the following noncompliance while performing pre-operational sanitation. In the breast deboning department I observed one piece of thigh meat in the repack #2 machine. I immediately rejected the repack #2 machine with U.S.tag #B40170494 and notified the sanitation manager of the noncompliance. While continuing my inspection of the department I observed chicken particles on one of the white formers and overspray of chicken meat and fat on numerous yellow cords and overhead conduit. I immediately notified of my observations. The white former, yellow cords and conduit were all cleaned in my presence before the start of operations. After a review of the plants SSOP records no deficiencies were documented prior to my observations for the repack # 2 machine and the department was released for USDA inspection at 0525 hrs. This document serves as a written notification that failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in additional enforcement action described in 9 CFR part 500.

Regulation:

416.13(c) Each official establishment shall monitor daily the implementation of the procedures in the Sanitation SOP’s.

416.4(a) All food-contact surfaces, including food-contact surfaces of utensils and equipment, must be cleaned and sanitized as frequently as necessary to prevent the creation of insanitary conditions and the adulteration of product.

416.4(b) Non-food-contact surfaces of facilities, equipment, and utensils used in the operation of the establishment must be cleaned and sanitized as frequently as necessary to prevent the creation of insanitary conditions and the adulteration of product.
