## Details

- Record Type: 483
- Company Name: Maine Contract Farming, LLC
- Inspection Date: 2010-10-01
- Product Type: Food
- Office Name: New England District Office
- Summary: An FDA inspection conducted at Maine Contract Farming, LLC from September 21 to October 1, 2010, identified several significant observations regarding the company's adherence to food safety protocols for shell egg production. The FDA Form 483 detailed three primary areas of concern. Firstly, the facility demonstrated inadequate measures to prevent the introduction or transfer of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) within and between poultry houses. Inspectors observed water leaks and wet conditions on ceilings and floors in hen house areas, which could facilitate pathogen spread. Secondly, the company failed to maintain comprehensive records for biosecurity measures. Specifically, there was no documentation of vehicle disinfection, such as dead hen trucks and other equipment, when moving between different farm locations, a critical step outlined in their own biosecurity plan to prevent cross-contamination. Finally, Maine Contract Farming, LLC did not consistently document the monitoring of rodent and pest control activities. Inspections of traps and bait stations were not performed within the 7-14 day intervals stipulated in their bio-security plan, with documented intervals extending up to 25 days, indicating a lapse in pest management oversight. These observations highlight the need for Maine Contract Farming, LLC to implement corrective actions to strengthen their biosecurity protocols, improve environmental control within poultry houses, and ensure thorough documentation of all critical food safety and pest management procedures to comply with regulatory expectations for shell egg producers.
