This directive provides instructions to inspection program personnel (IPP) regarding their responsibilities in an official establishment that manufactures animal food or similar uninspected articles in the edible product department. FSIS is revising this directive because the Agency has issued a final rule removing the prescriptive regulatory requirements in 9 CFR 318.12 and 381.152 that govern the manufacture of uninspected products in edible product areas of official establishments and prohibit official establishments from manufacturing such products outside the hours of inspection. These amendments make the regulations at 9 CFR 318.12 and 381.152 consistent with the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) and sanitation regulations (9 CFR part 416 and 417).
KEY POINTS:
• Provides IPP information regarding establishments that produce pet food outside the hours of inspection.
• Provides IPP instructions for verifying an establishment’s compliance with HA
