Corporacion Avicola Morovis, Inc. – FDA 483, May 4, 2023

An FDA inspection of Corporacion Avicola Morovis, Inc., a shell egg producer in Morovis, PR, revealed significant deficiencies in pest control and sanitation critical for Salmonella Enteritidis prevention. The firm failed to prevent stray animals from entering poultry houses and exhibited inadequate rodent monitoring and control both inside and outside the facilities. Additionally, the Salmonella Enteritidis Prevention Plan lacked appropriate measures for controlling flying insects, with observations showing high fly activity and conditions conducive to pest breeding, many of these issues being repeat observations from previous inspections.
