Section 3 - Record Keeping


 
 

1)  All records must be kept for a period of two years from the release of the cattle from the operation.

2) Should unacceptable levels of residues be found in any of the cattle shipped for slaughter, the beef operation will make applicable records available to FSIS and FDA personnel and to BQA /CMP program personnel.  This is to determine the source and cause of the violative residue, and corrective action taken to prevent reoccurrence of such violation.

3) Records can be kept on a computer or in written form, as long as they meet the aforementioned specifications and allow for verification of actions taken.  Existing records will do, if all aforementioned qualifications are met.
