313.1
On 6/24/2021, from approximately 1900 to 2100 hours, I, SPHV REDACTED, inspected the pens and alleyways (HATS Category IV, Ante-mortem Inspection), during an odd-hour inspection. I observed missing horizontal boards along the north sidewall of the beef lead-up chute; this created a gap in the wall approximately 10 to 12 inches wide and 8 feet long in the sidewall, located approximately 6 to 8 inches above the lead-up chute floor. The gap presented an opening where a calf could place its leg or foot into the gap, which created a significant foot or leg injury hazard. The missing boards also demonstrated the beef lead-up chute was in disrepair. This was a noncompliance with Title 9 CFR 313.1(a). There were no animals in the lead-up chute during this finding, and no animals on premises showed any signs of injury that could have resulted from the gap in the lead-up chute wall. I closed the door to the lead-up chute and attached US Reject tag B-45402562 to the lead-up chute door. REDACTED, HACCP Coordinator/Managing Director, was notified of the noncompliance.
