Hey i received an NR and am not really trained to respond to it but am the only one available at the moment to do so. So could you guys help me.

this is the description of the NR

"Inspection observed the establishment re-packing of processed beef tripe without changing the plastic liners from the previous producer/packer of that product. The process was rejected and tagged using tag #0000 and management was notified of the non-compliance and their failure to meet part 416.1, 416.4(a), and 416.4(d) of the meat and poultry regulations"

Help with responding to this. I know this compliance is kinda vague but i want no trouble with the inspector so a simple respond will do. Please help
