Citation:
At 1445 hrs, I observed that the establishment was using red barrels that were marked "TRASH" on the side for container to store tracheas prior to packaging them. The establishment employees were then taking the tracheaes out of the "TRASH" barrels, and placing them into boxes and the label of the boxes read "Pharmaceutical Use". I immediately notified ( and ) of the improper use of the containers. The immediate corrective action was that Mr. had all red barrels that had "TRASH" on the side of them taken off the Harvest Floor. All contents in the barrels were placed in the rending chute. was notified that this Non- Compliance Report will be issued. This represent Non-Compliance with 9 CFR 316.13(f). A review of the Non-Compliance Reports for the last 90 days revealed no similar findings with the same root cause.
