Putting Glass Walls on New York Slaughterhouses So We Can See Behind Closed Doors from FAUN Friends Of Animals United
Kiryas Joel Meat Market

Address: 7 Dinev Ct, Monroe, NY 10950
Establishment No.: p31727

USDA Inspection Report: 7 Mar 2011

Code: 06D01
Violation: 416.1, 416.4(d)

Citation: March 7, 2011 16:25 hours While performing an unscheduled Sanitation Performance Standards (SPS), 06D01, inspection procedure in the shipping and receiving department, I observed a refrigerated tractor trailer owned by this establishment in the process of being loaded with palletized product. The grated, metal floor of the truck bed was found to be littered with fragments of wooden pallets and clogged with black mud. Upon entering the trailer, I also detected the presence of a strong odor of a stale, fermented substance. I retained twenty (20) pallets of product awaiting shipment on the shipping dock by affixing the Food Safety and Inspection Service's Form 6502-1 #B39718806 and directed plant employees to remove the two pallets of product, also retained, that were on the trailer at the time of discovery. This is a failure to comply with the United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Chapter III, Animals and Animal Products, Sections 416.1 and 416.4(d). The establishment's shipping and receiving manager, [redacted] was promptly notified of the noncompliances verbally. For the facts the product was palletized, the waxed cardboard shipping containers were wrapped in plastic film, and the product's immediate containers were of an impervious plastic, the product itself was not observed to have been affected by the insanitary conditions of the trailer and, in my opinion, did not require reconditioning. Once sanitary conditions had been restored to the trailer to my satisfaction, the affected product was released. Federal regulations require product to be protected from adulteration during processing, handling, storage, loading, and unloading at and during transportation from official establishments. This document serves as written notification that failure to comply with regulatory requirements may result in additional regulatory and/or administrative action(s).

Regulation:

416.1 Each official establishment must be operated and maintained in a manner sufficient to prevent the creation of insanitary conditions and to ensure that product is not adulterated.

416.4(d) Product must be protected from adulteration during processing, handling, storage, loading, and unloading at and during transportation from official establishments.
