Why does MDA look for Listeria at Retail?
• Monitor operator’s control for risks where RTE PHF are prepared, handled, or stored
• Prevent adulteration and possibility for adulteration
What happens when Listeria is found?
• Assess whether firm has lost control of their process
• Bring operator back into compliance – adulteration statues – Minn. Stat. 34A.02 (Adulteration),– Minn. Stat. 31.02 (Prohibited Acts), and – Minnesota Administrative Rule
Chapter 4626.0015 (Food Safety under Food Code)• Corrective Action Plan best guidance for
accomplishing this
Firm Actions: Cleaning, CAP, and Verification
• Intensely clean and sanitize• Assess causes and contributing factors• Write a Corrective Action Plan (CAP)
– Cleaning and Sanitizing – how? where?– Equipment and employee flow– Repairs to equipment or structure– Employee training
• Verify that actions have been effective = firm sampling
MDA Actions• Provide guidance but not act as their QA• Review CAP• Confirmatory sampling• Visit operator to observe whether control
