FDA 483 - Jack Newcomer - April 14, 2011

On April 14, 2011, the FDA Philadelphia District inspected Jack Newcomer, a shell egg manufacturer located at 463 Newcomer Road, Mount Joy, PA 17552, US. The inspection revealed one observation regarding the prevention of stray animals from entering poultry houses.

Specifically, the inspection noted multiple fan covers were missing or had holes. Additionally, the rear door of the facility had a 12-inch long and 1-2-inch tall gap. Furthermore, aluminum siding at the rear of the building was not secured, and an accumulation of material was observed in that area. These conditions indicate a failure to adequately prevent the entry of stray animals, which is a critical finding for a shell egg manufacturer and suggests deficiencies in facility maintenance and pest control measures.
