## Details

- Record Type: 483
- Company Name: Centrum Valley Farms
- Inspection Date: 2011-05-25
- Office Name: Kansas City District Office
- Summary: During an inspection on May 24-25, 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an FDA Form 483 to Cedar Valley Egg LLP in Mount Auburn, IA, detailing significant observations. The inspection revealed key violations primarily concerning the company's adherence to egg safety regulations and record-keeping practices, crucial for preventing foodborne illness. Specifically, the firm failed to conduct environmental testing for *Salmonella enteritidis* (SE) in two poultry houses (House 2 and House 3) when the laying hens were between 40 and 45 weeks of age. This testing is a critical requirement under the FDA's Egg Safety Rule, designed to monitor and control SE contamination risks. Furthermore, several essential operational records were incomplete or lacked necessary information. The firm's biosecurity, layer testing, pest control, cleaning and disinfection, and refrigeration Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) did not include the farm's location. The Cooler Refrigeration Log for May 2011 was also found to be deficient, missing specific temperature and time entries for May 1, May 7, and May 12. These observations indicate a need for Cedar Valley Egg LLP to implement corrective actions to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements, especially concerning SE prevention and comprehensive, accurate record maintenance, to protect public health.
