Additional Information

When an opportunity arose for me to shadow a USDA Supervisor I had the opportunity to learn a lot of the duties of the CSI-9. at Salisbury. I accompanied Dr, Marnell. We went to all the departments in the plant at Salisbury. We went to receiving and observed the live poultry in the cages and on the conveyer belt in live hang. We observed the kill room and the scalders. We also went to packing, deboning, the box room, and the cooler,. I shadowed the CSI 9 Vanessa at the Salisbury plant also. i have observed the CSIs perform a Sanitation Standard Operating Procedure (SSOP) Review and Observation task in the Cut-Up department. According to 9 CFR 416.11, each establishment shall develop, implement, and maintain written Standard Operating Procedures for Sanitation per Regulations. While touring the Cut-Up department, the CSI and I observed product overflow, which resulted in many pieces of product falling from the production line onto the floor. the CSI immediately took regulatory control action by stopping the production line and notifying management of the deviation. The establishment immediately began implementing its SSOP corrective actions. Corrective actions must include procedures that ensure proper disposition of products that are contaminated, restore sanitary conditions, and prevent the recurrence of contaminated or adulterated products. The product was picked up and reconditioned. After the establishment regains process control and the sanitary conditions were restored per the Regulations. the CSI relinquished regulatory control actions, and and the production line resumed immediately. In my free time i study the NPIS Training Handbook.
