FDA 483 - Centrum Valley Farms LLP, East Complex - August 30, 2010

This FDA Form 483 documents observations from an inspection of Quality Egg LLC, including their egg laying operations and feed mill located at 2624 Hwy 69 Galt, IA 50101 (FEI: 3003073159).

The facility failed to fully implement and follow its written SE prevention plan and bio-security plan (created 5/1/10, updated 8/11/10). Numerous violations were observed across multiple layer houses (Layer 1-4) and the feed mill.

Key observations include: * **Pest Control Deficiencies:** Presence of frogs, unused wooden structures, high grass, non-chicken feathers, live wild birds (including pigeons roosting in damaged vents), bird nests, and un-baited rodent burrows. Live mice (2-5 per house) and numerous live/dead flies and maggots were observed in egg laying houses, on egg belts, feed, shell eggs, and walkways. Birds were also observed roosting and flying in the feed mill, with nesting material present. * **Structural and Environmental Issues:** Manure pits were excessively full (4-8 feet high), pushing out access doors and creating open access for wildlife. Exterior structural damage (holes, missing siding, gaps in foundation, damaged/missing vent screens) was widespread across multiple layer houses. Gaps (¼ inch to 2 inches)
