FDA 483 - Jordan Egg Farm, Inc. - April 20, 2011

This FDA Form 483 document outlines observations made during an inspection of a poultry operation. The facility failed to conduct environmental testing for *Salmonella Enteritidis* (SE) in poultry houses at the required age interval. Specifically, the document states that testing was not performed when any group of laying hens constituting the flock was between 40 and 45 weeks of age. House #4 was tested at 46 weeks and 6 days, House #2 at 47 weeks and 3 days, House #1 at 45 weeks and 3 days, and House #3 at 50 weeks and 3 days.

Additionally, the operation does not maintain records documenting compliance with refrigeration requirements for shell eggs. There are no records of temperature monitoring during the transportation of shell eggs, indicating a lack of adherence to cold chain management protocols. These observations highlight deficiencies in both environmental monitoring and record-keeping practices related to egg safety and quality control.
