#196/Pack Out had older transfer stickers affixed to crates of unlabeled jack and olive sandwiches. These are transferred by truck to 191 for finished labeling.

Room 191/Slicing Room did not have foot foamers operating or quat/crystals/powder down while in operation at the entry ways to the area from shipping and from the chemical supply room in the back. They stated their current process is to use quat powder called Sani-plus from Eco-lab.

Handwashing sink water was scalding in 191. It was too hot to hold your hand under for 20 seconds.

Have any immediate actions already been taken?  I would expect a few of these to get corrected before the audit was even over, presuming the auditor pointed them out during or after the walk-through.

What scheme are you using for your certification?

All of these findings seem like straight-forward fixes, except for issue #1 which is a little unclear:

 

1: Wrong stickers were applied? Perhaps review your labeling procedure to understand how exactly this mixup occurred.

 

2: Re-activate or fix the foot foamers in this room. If using crystals, ensure they're available.

 

3: Get maintenance to adjust water temperature.

 

4: Adjust template for invoices to display all the needed information.

Minor 1: Make sure your procedure includes taking off labels after product emptied and that your staff is trained to do this.  When new product is put in there should not be any old labels still affixed.

 

Minor 2: Get foot foamer operational or replaced, or do one of the other options (correctly), but you will have to document the procedure, add to sanitation schedule, and train to make sure this procedure is always operational and functioning properly.

 

Minor 3: Get maintenance, plumber, someone to get the temp down to 105° to 120°. 100° is the minimum

 

Minor 4: Add section to put lot codes and dates on invoices.  Show them your updated invoice.
