Citation: On 11/05/2011 at approximately 0930 hours FSIS personnel observed that the plastic cover on the top of a combo of ends and pieces was only covering on-third of the combo. This combo was situated in the middle of the second tier along the west side of the product storage racks in the north product storage cooler with other combos of ends and pieces situated above it. Upon further investigation, numerous specs of black dirt like particles were observed inside the combo on the bacon ends and pieces. This does not meet regulatory requirement(s) including but not limited to 9 CFR 416.4(d), 416.13(b), and 416.13(c).
