Citation:  While performing a ten bird food safety check in the V.I. position on line #3, at 03:18, I observed fecal material inside bird #2. The fecal was dark green in color, about 1/4"x 1/2" in size, inside in the kidney area, and was pasty in consistency. the was informed. No regulatory action was taken because the plant followed all HACCP corrective actions for fecal. The plant managements further preventive measure was to have the sprayers in the washer adjusted. A HACCP retest was performed at 03:23, and no additional fecal material was found. A 03J02 procedure was performed and all associated paper work was found to be acceptable. A fecal noncompliance was also observed on 10/20/2010. See NR# 0313-2010. The finding of fecal material shows that, in the plants efforts to prevent fecal material from entering the chilling system, the previous given preventive measures were either ineffective or were not carried out. 9 CFR 381.65(e) states, "Poultry carcasses contaminated with fecal material shall be prevented from entering the chilling tank."

Regulation:

381.65(e) Poultry carcasses contaminated with visible fecal material shall be prevented from entering the chilling tank.

417.2(c)(4) List the procedures, and the frequency with which those procedures will be performed, that will be used to monitor each of the critical control points to ensure compliance with the critical limits;
