Every covered poultry plant must follow this chapter's rules when it processes anything. If a plant learns that bad or mislabeled poultry left its facility, it must tell the Secretary right away. Plants must also keep recall plans ready and document safety plan reviews for inspectors.
(a) In general: No establishment covered by this chapter, that processes poultry* or poultry products for commerce*, may process anything except in compliance with this chapter's requirements.
(b) Notification: If a covered establishment believes, or has reason to believe, that an adulterated or misbranded poultry product* it received or that came from it has entered commerce, it must promptly notify the Secretary*. The notice must cover the type, amount, origin, and destination of the product.
(c) Plans and reassessments: The Secretary must require every covered establishment, at minimum, to:
(1) prepare and keep current its procedures for recalling all poultry and poultry products it has produced and shipped;
(2) document each time it reassesses its process control plans; and
(3) make those procedures and reassessed plans available, on request, for Secretary-appointed inspectors to review and copy.
No establishment processing poultry* or poultry products for commerce* otherwise subject to this chapter shall process any poultry or poultry product* except in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.
Any establishment subject to inspection under this chapter that believes, or has reason to believe, that an adulterated or misbranded poultry or poultry product received by or originating from the establishment has entered into commerce shall promptly notify the Secretary* with regard to the type, amount, origin, and destination of the poultry or poultry product.
The Secretary shall require that each establishment subject to inspection under this chapter shall, at a minimum—
prepare and maintain current procedures for the recall of all poultry or poultry products produced and shipped by the establishment;
document each reassessment of the process control plans of the establishment; and
upon request, make the procedures and reassessed process control plans available to inspectors appointed by the Secretary for review and copying.
