FDA 483 - Dairy Farmers of America - November 03, 2017

An FDA inspection of DairiConcepts, LP in Pollock, SD, a manufacturer of Romano Cheese, revealed significant deficiencies in temperature control, sanitation, and chemical management. Observations included raw milk held at temperatures exceeding 45°F, inadequate contact times for cleaning and sanitizing agents, and improper storage of toxic chemicals. These conditions indicate a failure to minimize the potential for microbial growth and contamination of food products.
