  7.

  8. Review Methodology • Focus of reviews should be: • Are facilities maintained in a manner to prevent the adulteration of product • Are Custom products segregated from inspected product • Are Operations Conducted eligible for exemption, for example: • Does Poultry Custom Operator buy and sell poultry • Are custom products sold

  10. Enforcement Actions • Document and fully describe non-compliant findings (FSIS will use form 5930-1) • DM or RM decide when follow-up reviews are warranted • Failure to correct deficiencies documented in letters to custom operators • Continued failure to operate in compliance with statures or regulations, Agency moves to remove custom eligibility – operators to cease custom operations
