NOTICE OF SUSPENSION
Dear Mr. Foster:
This letter confirms the verbal notification that was provided to your establishment on January 8, 2014, by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), Alameda District, of the withholding of the marks of inspection and the suspension of the assignment of inspectors at your establishment in accordance with FSIS Rules of Practice, Title 9 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 500.3(a)(4). This action is initiated based on egregious insanitary conditions observed in your establishment whereby products produced at your facility may have been rendered adulterated in violation of the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) 21 U.S.C. 453 and 456, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, specifically Title 9 CFR 416. This is evidenced by findings of an infestation of live cockroaches in and around your production areas, that created insanitary conditions, and demonstrate that your firm failed to maintain an effective pest control program and other sanitary controls to assure that wholesome, unadulterated meat and poultry products are produced at your facility.
