FDA 483 - Gilman Cooperative Creamery Association - February 09, 2021

An FDA inspection of Gilman Cooperative Creamery Association, an unlicensed feed mill in Gilman, MN, revealed significant deficiencies in their hazard analysis and preventive controls for animal food safety. The firm failed to adequately identify and control hazards like animal drugs, foreign material, and mycotoxins, and lacked proper monitoring and corrective action procedures. Repeated observations from a previous inspection highlighted issues with record-keeping, inventory control for medicated feeds, and severe pest infestation due to poor facility maintenance, indicating a high risk of animal food adulteration.
