... AssuranceNet FSIS web-based system that monitors field activities and helps ensure that its enforcement actions are consistent nationwide. Enforcement action Measure of an establishment's ability to implement and maintain corrective action once a noncompliance is ob served and documented.
From page 74...
... coli O157:H7 is capable of causing foodborne infections in humans. Food Safety Assessment Assessment conducted by FSIS to analyze an establishment's control of its food safety systems.
From page 75...
... Hazard Assessment A proposed inspection activity in Verification (HAV) which FSIS in-plant inspectors review certain components of the facility's process controls (e.g., HACCP moni toring and verification activities)
From page 76...
... Since lift is computed using a data table with actual outcomes, lift compares how well a model performs with respect to the data on predicted outcomes. Lift indicates how well the model improved the predictions over a random selection, given actual results.
From page 77...
... A record completed by FSIS inspection program personnel each time they determine that an establish ment is not in compliance with regulatory requirements. The NR explains the nature of the regulatory action and informs the establishment's management of the noncompliance.
From page 78...
... Process control Within the limits of a stable and predictable process variation, a hazard is controlled to an acceptable level. This variation needs to be defined and the process must be monitored so that corrective actions are implemented before limits are surpassed.
From page 79...
... The resulting electrophoretic patterns are highly specific for strains from a variety of organisms and provide an opportunity to examine multiple variations throughout the genome of the organism so as to identify specific strains and accurately link them with disease outbreaks. Ready-to-eat (RTE)
From page 80...
... The L monocytogenes alternative categories are as follows: Alternative 1 -- Establishments that apply both a post-lethality treatment to an RTE product to reduce or eliminate microorganisms on the product and the use of an antimicrobial agent or process as part of the product formu lation.
From page 81...
... This program assesses process control in individual establishments. The program also provides feedback to stimulate industry action to reduce human exposure to Salmonella in raw meat and poultry.
From page 82...
... Zero tolerance FSIS policy that has been established for E coli O157:H7 in non-intact raw beef products and for Salmonella, L
