The HAV task is performed at this frequency.
What is "quarterly?"
A beef with 2 sets of permanent incisors would be classified as _____ 30 months of age.
What is "Over"
The name for the inspection conducted before an animal is slaughtered, which checks its general health.
What is antemortem inspection?
Specific procedures an establishment will perform to prevent direct contamination or adulteration of product.

What is a "Pre-Shipment Review?"
The establishment must consider each step in their process and develop a ______ _______, which diagrams the entire process.

What is a "sanitizer" ?
Direct Observation and Record Review are examples of this type of ongoing activity.
If an establishment considers a hazard NRLTO, they must have __________________ for their justification. Examples of this include a GMP, Pre-Requisite Program, scientific article, or in-plant data.
What is "supporting documentation" or "support"?
Postmortem inspection for these red meat species requires observation and palpation only (i.e. no cutting).

This safety management system, developed by NASA, is used to prevent foodborne illness by controlling risks and hazards in food production.
What is HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point)?
This is the establishment's support that their HACCP is working as intended. It consists of 90-days worth of records (provided the plan DID work as intended to prevent food safety hazards).
