FDA 483 - Yippee Farms, LLC - December 10, 2021

Yippee Farms, LLC, a dairy farm in Mount Joy, PA, was cited for two significant violations related to drug administration to food-producing animals. The firm engaged in extralabel drug use of Meloxicam and Sulfadimethoxine in a heifer calf, resulting in violative drug residues in the animal's organ tissue when slaughtered for human food. Additionally, the farm lacked a sufficient system to ensure drugs were administered as directed and failed to document diagnoses and treatments, contributing to the violative residue incident.
