USDA Inspection Report: 27 Oct 2010

Code:  03J01
Violation:  381.65(e), 417.2(c)(4)

Citation:  While I was performing a ten bird food safety test on line at 0353 hrs, I observed fecal material inside of the 9th bird. It was a smear approximately 1/4 inch by 1/4 inch in size, green in color, and pasty in consistency. I immediately informed of my findings. The plant's immediate corrective action was to adjust the belt on the final washer. A HACCP retest was performed at 0406 hrs and no fecal material was found. The affected bird was washed and placed back on the line prior to the System. No regulatory control action was taken because the plant followed their corrective action procedures. The 03J02 procedure was performed and found acceptable. A fecal non-compliance was also observed on this same date, see NR#0323-2010.

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;
