## Details

- Record Type: 483
- Company Name: Corporacion Avicola Morovis, Inc.
- Inspection Date: 2023-05-04
- Product Type: other
- Office Name: San Juan District Office
- Summary: During an inspection conducted from April 25 to May 4, 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified significant deficiencies at Corporacion Avicola Morovis, Inc., a shell egg producer in Morovis, Puerto Rico. The inspection revealed critical issues related to the firm's Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) Prevention Plan and overall sanitation practices, many of which are repeat observations from previous inspections. Key violations included the failure to prevent stray animals from entering poultry houses, evidenced by birds flying inside and animal excrement, along with structural integrity problems like gaps in mesh and holes in walls. The firm's SE plan lacked adequate control measures and corrective actions for stray animals. Additionally, the company's rodent monitoring and control methods were found to be inadequate, both inside and outside the facilities. Observers noted improperly placed bait stations, rodent droppings, environmental factors conducive to rodent harborage such as overgrown vegetation and stagnant water, and a lack of effective rodent control strategies in their SE plan. Furthermore, the SE prevention plan lacked appropriate measures for controlling flying insects. High fly activity was observed, and conditions like dripping water, leaking manure, and unmaintained empty cages provided breeding grounds. The presence of uncollected wild bird carcasses also contributed to unsanitary conditions. These findings indicate a persistent failure to comply with established food safety standards, necessitating immediate and comprehensive corrective actions to ensure the safety and quality of their shell egg products.
