Macelo Central S.E. Inc.: Non-Compliance to Humane Livestock Handling in 2025 Q2 (USDA)

313.2

Today at 7;30 approximately while performing Livestock Humane Handling ( review and observation) during ante mortem inspection, I observed HATS CATEGORY III Water and Feed: That pens did not have water available for animals, a total of 142 animals were at the pens at the time the deviation was observed. Mr. REDACTED (administrator) was informed of the Non compliances, SPHV REDACTED (IIC) halted operations immediately. This observation is a non compliance to 9CFR 313.2(e) that states: "Animals shall have access to water in all holding pens and, if held longer than 24 hours, access to feed. There shall be sufficient room in the holding pen for animals held overnight to lie down". Failure to comply with regulatory requirements could result in additional regulatory or administrative action. HATS CATEGOTY: III WATER AND FEED * Similar Non compliance was documented on 12/18/24 (IJA3708123518N/1) Corrective action taken as a result of the non compliance were not effective in preventing recurrence. Corrective actions previous stated : water valve was going to be verify twice daily (AM,PM). Also to notify personnel and clients to not shot it off. Action By FSIS was to halt operations until preventive and corrective actions were taken. On 12/20/24 SPHV REDACTED discuss the matter with Mr. REDACTED in the weekly meeting.
