Denny Wagner – FDA 483, Jun 30, 2011

This FDA Form 483 documents observations made during an inspection of a poultry house producing shell eggs for the table market. The inspection revealed deficiencies in preventing stray animals, specifically wild birds, from entering the facility.

Observations included: * Apparent wild bird nesting materials in the roof eaves and louvers along aisle one (south interior side wall). * Numerous (20 or more) wild birds flying in and out of the roof eaves along the north and south side walls, inside the wire barrier, allowing direct access to the poultry house interior. * Apparent nesting materials in the roof eaves inside the wire barrier. * Apparent wild bird excreta along the entire north and south walls, on the top section just under the wire barrier. * An approximate 1 ft by 1 ft hole at the southwest corner of the poultry house lacking a wire barrier. * Two manure pit doors on the north wall with approximate 1-inch gaps, not sealing tightly.

Additionally, the firm lacked a written *Salmonella Enteritidis* (SE) prevention plan specific to the farm where eggs were produced. From July 9, 2010, to August 19, 2010, the firm operated without a written SE Prevention Plan while producing shell eggs for the table market. The current SE Prevention Plan on file is dated August 20, 2010.
