Food Inspector (This is a federal job)
Duties, Accomplishments and Related Skills:
I performed carcass-by-carcass inspection of poultry, ensuring compliance with the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) in various establishments as needed. While performing inspection activities I monitored ongoing plant operations and plant personnel to ensure compliance with written SSOP sanitation guidelines, and SPS regulations in the area immediately surrounding my inspection station.
While performing on-line Post-Mortem inspection duties all carcasses are inspected, including all parts, organs, and body tissue to determine whether disease, parasitic infection, or other abnormal conditions unfit for human consumption exist. When no such pathological, unwholesome, or abnormal conditions are present pass the inspected product as fit for human consumption.
While inspecting on my station, I monitored to ensure that all employees assigned to work with me were dressed in compliance with regulations and that personal hygienic requirements were being met, I verified that cleaning agents and compounds used were approved for that purpose. I made condemnations in accordance with the PPIA, of whole carcasses or parts thereof which were obviously unfit for food. In performance of my duties as an FI inspector, I had to retain questionable poultry carcasses for a final disposition by my supervisor. I ensured condemned products were disposed of in accordance with federal poultry regulation 9CFR 381. I was employed in a mentoring establishment which afforded me the opportunity to assist in the training of new inspectors, including SPHV’s, in the performance of Post - Mortem inspection techniques.
While working online I correlated findings in postmortem inspection activities and monitoring of the establishment’s operations as to proper procedures in product handling and other verification activities with SVMO, off-line inspectors, and management officials. I correlated any findings to effectively carry out the procedures that were assigned to the inspection team. I dealt with establishment supervisory personnel when calling attention to employees that did not meet GMP’s (Good Manufacturing Practices) for compliance with written plant procedures. I referred inspection violations to immediate supervisor or off-line CSI for corrective actions, I notified them of any need for repairs or replacement of broken, insanitary equipment, utensils, and other facilities, and performed all other related duties as assigned to me. When not clear on a subject, I sought technical advice and guidance from my immediate supervisor to better perform inspection activities. When potential safety hazards were observed, I notified establishment management and my SVMO. I have always conducted myself in a professional manner while working with establishment management, employees, and fellow co-workers and communicated with all to prevent conflict.
While shadowing I observed my CSI’s determine compliance or non-compliance with SPS, SSOP, and HACCP regulations. I observed records and document where the monitoring of HACCP, CCP’s, and critical limits included actual times, temperatures, or other quantifiable values as prescribed in the establishment’s HACCP plan(s). While shadowing my CSI-8 processing inspectors, I observed them perform net weight checks, added solution checks, Food defense checks and labeling requirements tasks. I have observed and assisted the CSI-8 processing inspectors perform export activities, perform ante-mortem and animal welfare procedures, I kept my supervisor informed of work activities, completed administrative reports, and maintained records and files.
While shadowing, I observed CSI’s reviewing the establishment’s E-coli testing results to determine compliance or non-compliance, to include records of all test results and correlated their findings regarding E-coli testing results with my SVMO and our fellow inspection team members. I assisted CSI’s in sample collection and shipment while shadowing, I observed CSI’s either schedule task in PHIS, collect and ship samples once collected. While shadowing a CSI-8 that was performing a sanitary standard operating procedure in the debone department. My CSI observed a noncompliance at wing section sorting belt, water was observed dripping from the drain on an overhead drip pan onto product belt below. A regulatory control action was taken, and production was halted. My CSI Notified establishment supervisor and all product was removed from the belt and segregated. One full combo of wing sections was placed on hold. Affected surfaces were washed and sanitized under IPP monitoring and released. Management was notified, verbally, visually, and in writing with an NR. While shadowing one of my CSI’s performing pre-operational sanitation, the following noncompliance was observed in 2
nd
processing’s debone department area at the #2 line for breast meat, the CSI discovered small pieces of blue plastic on east end of the belt, which was a product contact surface. When my CSI investigated the belt, pieces of blue belt was patched into a grey belt that was not correctly attached and appeared to be twisted causing it to shred plastic along the side of the frame. My CSI immediately applied a U.S. retained tag to the belt and notified maintenance both verbally and in writing with an N.R. document. Supervisor: Dr. Thelma Brown 229-***-****
