USDA Inspection Report: 5 Aug 2011

Code: 03J01
Violation: 416.1, 416.2(b)(1), 416.2(b)(3), 416.2(d), 417.5(a)(3)

Citation: At approximately 0930 on August 5, 2011 while performing and unscheduled PBIS task 03J01, the following noncompliances were observed. A review of the records from the eadrs for April 8, 2011 indicating there were 2 Beef and 1 Swine slaughtered on this date. There were no entries recorded on their Slaughter form. Also, on May 20, 2011 there were 2 Beef and 3 Swine slaughtered on this date but no entries for monitoring were recorded on the slaughter form for either dates for CCP 1 zero tolerance. I then proceeded to verbally notify Mr. [redacted] of the above noncompliances. This does not meet the requirements of 417.5(a)(3) which states: Records documenting the monitoring of CCP's and their critical limits, including the recording of actual times, temperatures, or other quantifiable values, as prescribed in the establishment's HACCP plan; the calibration of process-monitoring instruments; corrective actions, including all actions taken in response to a deviation; verification procedures and results; product code(s), product name or identity, or slaughter production lot. Each of these records shall include the date the record was made. I then checked for similar NR's and found none.
