Lessons Learned Lessons learned is a pretty big category. ODA were doing many good things before the standards. ********************************************************** Here are the three (3) highlights; 1. Documenting what we do and, therefore; we have been able to identify gaps in our program. 2. Reviving a lot of items that were fading away over time in our program. 3. Creating and adopting new things that we didn’t have before.
Appendix 2.2-6: Staff Specialties for Inspections and Qualified Trainers 1. Documenting What We Do - We have been able to identify gaps in our programs i.e. “Training Program” --has allowed us to make modifications that in the end provide a more comprehensive program - Our inspectors are better trained than they were 10 years ago. This has also helped us towards our goal of consistency among inspectors.
Food Sampling SOPs 2. Reviving the Old and the Fades
- Review and revised the current P&P of all our enforcement actions. - Established a separate P&P of timeline for EAs Follow-up. 2. Reviving the Old and the Fades
Reasons for Recall: 2013 Pathogens (5): Hepatitis A, Cryptosporidium, L. monocytogenes Under-processed (9) Meat products without USDA inspection (1) Adulteration (2) Plastic inclusion (1) 2014 Pathogens (9) Campylobacter, Salmonella, L. monocytogenes Undeclared allergens (7) Product spoilage (2) Lower level of nutrients (1) 3. Creating and Adopting New Items
** Outreach time was not tracked in 2009 and * Types of outreach activities have been tracked since Creating and Adopting New Items
Lessons Learned The biggest negative is resources; All of the standards take a tremendous amount of time and staff hours to administer. Meeting time with FDA, audit time and reporting time have been required. Once the grant money runs out - although these tasks keep us accountable, they take a lot of time and staff hours.
