## Details

- Record Type: 483
- Company Name: Barry L. Wilcher Farm
- Inspection Date: 2011-05-27
- Product Type: Food
- Office Name: Philadelphia District Office
- Summary: This FDA Form 483 document outlines observations made during an inspection of a poultry egg production facility. The facility failed to prevent stray animals from entering poultry houses, evidenced by an approximate 3x3 inch hole in the wire roof cave barrier in the northeast corner of a poultry house, and damaged wire roof cave barrier along the north side.

The firm did not test the pullet environment for *Salmonella Enteritidis* (SE) when pullets were 14 to 16 weeks of age, with environmental testing performed on February 1, 2011, before the laying hens reached the specified age range.

Furthermore, the firm lacked a written SE prevention plan specific to the farm where eggs are produced. From July 9, 2010, to March 14, 2011, and August 1, 2010, the firm did not implement an SE Prevention Plan. The current plan on file is dated March 15, 2011, and August 2, 2010.

Finally, required records, specifically fly monitoring records from July 9, 2010, through March 15, 2011, did not include the time of the activity they reflected. These observations indicate deficiencies in pest control, environmental monitoring, and record-keeping practices critical for food safety and regulatory compliance.
