# Risk Standard Standard # Requirement # Location


.
.

1 Minor Issues Noted (MI) Bulk Systems and Unloading Areas 2.22 2.22.1.1 Outside Grounds and Roof
Finding: The receiving overhead dock door trailer seal cushion was damaged and fraying. All other loading dock area bump pads
were in good repair.
Recommendation: This protective pad should be promptly replaced in order to provide a deterrent from pests entering the building.
.
.

2 Minor Issues Noted (MI) Non-Product Zone and Support Area Cleaning 3.6 3.6.1.4 Facility Overview
Finding: The walk-in freezer contained a small amount of ice build-up from condensate located on the back, left-side of the west
wall and on the floor. The ice was located in Zones 3 or 4, and no ongoing leaks were found evident at the time of the
inspection.
Recommendation: It is recommended the ice be removed from the floor and wall to enhance cleaning efforts in this location. In addition, the
source of this ice buildup should be determined and eliminated in order to prevent any possible product storage risks.
.
.

3 Minor Issues Noted (MI) Self-Inspections 5.6 5.6.1.2 Facility Overview


Finding: Monthly self-inspections of the entire facility, including the outside grounds, had not addressed items noted during the
audit inspection. The loading dock door bump pad was found in poor repair and an isolated condensate leak resulting in
ice build up in the walk-in freezer unit was observed.
Recommendation: It was recommended the inspections should become more in-depth in identifying and promptly eliminating all possible
product food safety risks such as, those observed during the AIB International inspection and outlined in the text of this
report.
.
.

4 Minor Issues Noted (MI) Preventive Maintenance Program 5.14 5.14.1.1 Facility Overview
Finding: A formal Preventive Maintenance Program and work order system was not used to prioritize problems in structural,
equipment, or utensil maintenance. Specifically, the PM program should have addressed the receiving door damaged
cushion and the source of the condensate formed ice located in support areas of the walk-In freezer unit. .
Recommendation: It was recommended the items be corrected and the PM system used to prioritize issues and correct problems that may
be noted in future inspections
