FDA 483 - Dorothy Egg Farms LLC - October 21, 2010

This FDA Form 483 document details observations made during an inspection of Dorothy Egg Farms, LLC, a producer located at Complexes 2, 7, 8, 272 Plains Road, Turner, ME 04282. The inspection was conducted from October 12 to October 21, 2010, by multiple investigators including Edmund F. Polrak, Bruce G. Cooper, Stephen C. King, Nichole B. Murphy, and Thomas M. Nerney. The report was issued to John C. Lough, Owner.

The sole observation noted was that stray animals are not prevented from entering poultry houses. Specifically, on October 13, 2010, during environmental sampling of a deep pit hen house, investigators observed a dark grey/black, approximately eighteen-inch long, cat-like animal at the midpoint of the building near the east wall. The animal was seen sitting momentarily before running to the North end of the manure pit. This observation indicates a potential breach in biosecurity and animal control measures within the facility, which could have implications for food safety and quality.
