HAT Category III (Water and Feed Availability) On 11/21/2023 at approximately 0705 hours, while performing a HAT Category III (Water and Feed Availability) verification task, I, SPHV REDACTED observed the following noncompliance. Specifically, I observed that the two hogs in livestock holding pen 6 did not have access to water (red water trough in the pen was empty). I took immediate regulatory control by applying a regulatory control tag (U.S. Reject/Retain tag No. B 37 579356) to the holding pen and informed Mrs. REDACTED of the issue who in turn directed Mr. REDACTED to immediately refill the red water bucket in pen 6, thereby allowing the hogs access to water. Regulatory control was subsequently relinquished at approximately 0710 hours upon the establishment taking the necessary corrective actions to achieve regulatory compliance and proffered measures to prevent recurrence. Mrs. REDACTED, Plant Manager, was notified of the noncompliance and of the establishment’s failure to comply with the regulatory requirements prescribed in 9 CFR 313.2(e).
