9 CFR 416.12(a) states: The Sanitation SOP's shall describe all procedures an official establishment will conduct daily, before and during operations, sufficient to prevent direct contamination or adulteration of product(s).
I am being told that this means that there must be a daily operations report during operations to note any issue that are found in the facility. Basically asking for a pre-op in the middle of the day.
I am a bit confused. what I read is that FOR YOUR SANITATION you must have SOP's or Standard Operation Procedures documented on what, when, how, where, and who for the sanitation procedures that you do prior to start-up and during operations. Such as, cleaning the equipment after use and sweeping up excess scrap from the floor.
Not that I need a daily operations facility report for the USDA.
Any Help out there?
Thanks.
