| ||||||
24 | (c) Each Type II licensee shall develop, implement, and | ||||||
25 | maintain written standard operating procedures for sanitation, | ||||||
26 | which shall be known as Sanitation SOPs, in accordance with all |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the following requirements: | ||||||
2 | (1) The Sanitation SOPs must describe all procedures | ||||||
3 | that a Type II licensee shall conduct daily, before and | ||||||
4 | during operations, sufficient to prevent direct | ||||||
5 | contamination or adulteration of products. | ||||||
6 | (2) The Sanitation SOPs must be signed and dated by the | ||||||
7 | individual with overall authority on-site or a higher level | ||||||
8 | official of the establishment. This signature shall | ||||||
9 | signify that the establishment shall implement the | ||||||
10 | Sanitation SOPs as specified and maintain the Sanitation | ||||||
11 | SOPs in accordance with the requirements of this subsection | ||||||
12 | (c). The Sanitation SOPs must be signed and dated upon the | ||||||

14 | modification to the Sanitation SOPs. | ||||||
15 | (3) Procedures set forth in the Sanitation SOPs that | ||||||
16 | are to be conducted prior to operations must be identified | ||||||
17 | as such and must address, at a minimum, the cleaning of | ||||||
18 | food contact surfaces of facilities, equipment, and | ||||||
19 | utensils. | ||||||
20 | (4) The Sanitation SOPs must specify the frequency with | ||||||
21 | which each procedure in the Sanitation SOPs shall be | ||||||
22 | conducted and identify the establishment employees | ||||||
23 | responsible for the implementation and maintenance of the | ||||||
24 | procedures. | ||||||
25 | (5) Prior to the start of operations, each licensee | ||||||
26 | must conduct the pre-operational procedures in the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Sanitation SOPs. All other procedures set forth in the | ||||||
2 | Sanitation SOPs must be conducted at the frequencies | ||||||
3 | specified. | ||||||
4 | (6) The implementation of the procedures set forth in | ||||||
5 | the Sanitation SOPs must be monitored daily by the | ||||||
6 | licensee. | ||||||
7 | (7) A licensee must routinely evaluate the | ||||||
8 | effectiveness of the Sanitation SOPs and the procedures set | ||||||
9 | forth therein in preventing direct contamination or | ||||||
10 | adulteration of products and shall revise both as necessary | ||||||
11 | to keep the Sanitation SOPs and the procedures set forth | ||||||
12 | therein effective and current with respect to changes in | ||||||
13 | facilities, equipment, utensils, operations, or personnel. | ||||||
14 | (8) A licensee must take appropriate corrective action | ||||||
15 | when either the establishment itself or the Department | ||||||
16 | determines that the Sanitation SOPs or the procedures | ||||||
17 | specified therein or the implementation or maintenance of | ||||||
18 | the Sanitation SOPs may have failed to prevent direct | ||||||
19 | contamination or adulteration of products. Corrective | ||||||
20 | actions include procedures to ensure appropriate | ||||||
21 | disposition of products that may be contaminated, restore | ||||||
22 | sanitary conditions, and prevent the recurrence of direct | ||||||
23 | contamination or adulteration of products, such as | ||||||
24 | appropriate reevaluation and modification of the | ||||||
25 | Sanitation SOPs and the procedures specified therein or | ||||||
26 | appropriate improvements in the execution of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Sanitation SOPs or the procedures specified therein. | ||||||
2 | (9) A licensee must maintain daily records sufficient | ||||||
3 | to document the implementation and monitoring of the | ||||||
4 | Sanitation SOPs and any corrective actions taken. The | ||||||
5 | establishment employees specified in the Sanitation SOPs | ||||||
6 | as being responsible for the implementation and monitoring | ||||||
7 | of the procedures set forth in the Sanitation SOPs must | ||||||
8 | authenticate these records with their initials and the | ||||||
9 | date. The records required to be maintained under this item | ||||||
10 | (9) may be maintained on computers, provided that the | ||||||
11 | establishment implements appropriate controls to ensure | ||||||
12 | the integrity of the electronic data. Records must be | ||||||
13 | maintained for at least 6 months and made available to the | ||||||
14 | Department upon request. All records must be maintained at | ||||||
15 | the licensed establishment for 48 hours following | ||||||
16 | completion, after which the records may be maintained | ||||||
17 | off-site, provided that the records may be made available | ||||||
18 | to the Department within 24 hours of request. | ||||||
19 | (10) The Department shall verify the adequacy and | ||||||
20 | effectiveness of the Sanitation SOPs and the procedures | ||||||
21 | specified therein by determining that they meet the | ||||||
22 | requirements of this subsection (c). This verification may | ||||||
23 | include the following: | ||||||
24 | (A) reviewing the Sanitation SOPs; | ||||||
25 | (B) reviewing the daily records documenting the | ||||||
26 | implementation of the Sanitation SOPs and the |

14 | week, starting the first full week of operation after June | ||||||
15 | 1 of each year, and continue sampling at a minimum of once | ||||||
16 | each week in which the establishment operates until June 1 | ||||||
17 | of the following year or until 13 samples have been | ||||||
18 | collected, whichever is sooner. | ||||||
19 | (4) Upon a licensee's meeting the requirements of item | ||||||
20 | (3) of this subsection (d), weekly sampling and testing | ||||||
21 | shall be optional, unless changes are made in establishment | ||||||
22 | facilities, equipment, personnel, or procedures that may | ||||||
23 | affect the adequacy of existing process control measures, | ||||||
24 | as determined by the licensee or the Department. | ||||||
25 | Determinations made by the Department that changes have | ||||||
26 | been made requiring the resumption of weekly testing must |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | be provided to the licensee in writing. | ||||||
2 | (5) Laboratories may use any quantitative method for | ||||||
3 | the analysis of E. coli that is approved as an AOAC | ||||||
4 | Official Method of the AOAC International (formerly the | ||||||
5 | Association of Official Analytical Chemists) or approved | ||||||
6 | and published by a scientific body and based on the results | ||||||
7 | of a collaborative trial conducted in accordance with an | ||||||
