Not just e-coli------listeria as well
Also-you want to ensure that you're herd information is complete to mitigate any potential to mad cow disease (completely separate from your EMP) and that you have a procedure in place in the event you think you've been sent contaminated animals as there are very specific steps to be taken should this even happen
I have not worked in pork, but one would assume it would be a more robust version of a Trichinosis plan
Actually, we didn't have a trichinosis plan at either pork facility - used USDA justification of no recorded cases since like the 1930's (or whatever decade, I can't recall offhand) that it's not a significant threat. The only thing we did there was pre-operational ATP swabbing and generic E. coli. The goal is for this plant to receive BRC Certification within a year of beginning operations, so I want to make sure that whatever we do is in compliance for that.
I do have a plan for SRM, the plant is owned by the owner of the single source herd, and at this time we believe we can get age verification for the cattle we bring in as they're all coming from his private feedyard (as in they can walk over). Much better than our sister plant in Hawaii, which operates on the assumption that the cattle are over 30 months, as that's just about all they slaughter.
Thank you for the resources, I'll check them out. :)
