Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 40-10-2-.06 - Facilities Requiring Inspection
(1) Establishments requiring inspection:
(a) Inspection under the regulation in this
chapter is required at:
1. Every
establishment, except as provided in 9 CFR Chapter 381.10(a)(1)and (5), in
which any domesticated poultry are slaughtered for transportation or sale as
articles of commerce, or in which any products of, or derived from, carcasses
of poultry are, wholly or in part, prepared for transportation of sale as
articles of commerce which are intended for use as human food; and
2. Every establishment designated by the
Commissioner pursuant to paragraph
40-10-2-.06(b)
and/or (c) of this Chapter as one producing adulterated products, which would
clearly endanger the public health.
(b) The Commissioner may extend the
inspection requirements to any establishment in the State at which products are
prepared for distribution solely within the State, if he determines in
accordance with the provisions of the Act that it is producing adulterated
products, which would clearly endanger the public health.
(c) Whenever any complaint is received by the
Commissioner from any person alleging that any retail store claiming exemption
under this paragraph (a) has been operated in violation of the conditions
prescribed in this section for retail exemption, and the Commissioner, upon
investigation of the complaint, has reason to believe that any such violation
has occurred he shall so notify the operator of the retail store and afford him
reasonable opportunity to present his views informally with respect to the
matter. Thereafter, if the Commissioner still has reason to believe that such a
violation has occurred, and that a requirement that the operator keep records
concerning the operations of the retail store would effectuate the purposes of
the Act, the Commissioner shall order the operator to maintain complete,
accurate, and legible records of total monthly purchases and of total monthly
sales of poultry, poultry byproducts, and poultry food products, in terms of
dollar values of the products involved. Such records shall separately show
total sales to household consumers and total sales to other consumers and shall
be maintained for the period prescribed in
40-10-1-.22(3) of
the Georgia Meat Inspection Rules. If the operator maintains copies of bills of
lading, receiving and shipping invoices, warehouse receipts, or similar
documents, which give the information required herein, additional records are
not required by this paragraph.
(2) Poultry and products entering official
establishments. All poultry and all products entering any official
establishment and all products prepared, in whole or in part, therein, shall be
inspected, handled, stored, prepared, packaged, marked, and labeled as required
by the regulations in this chapter.
(3) Establishments that qualify for a low
volume exemption from inspection as prescribed in Rule 40-10-02-.04(1) must
register with the Department as a Small Poultry Processor and pay any
applicable registration fees.
(4)
Establishments that qualify for a low volume exemption from inspection as
prescribed in Rule 40-10-02-.04(1) must comply with all other applicable
statutory and regulatory requirements including, but not limited to, the
following:
(a) requirements relating to the
prevention and control of diseases in livestock;
(b) requirements relating to the disposal of
dead animals;
(c) requirements
contained in Subject 40-13-10 entitled "Poultry";
(d) requirements contained in Rule
40-13-2-.15 relating to interstate
movement health requirements for poultry; and
(f) requirements contained in the
Department's "Small Poultry/Pasture Poultry Guidelines".
