Food Safety and Inspection Service
Title: Records to be Kept by Official Establishments and Retail
Stores that Grind Raw Beef Products.
OMB Control Number: 0583-0165.
Summary of Collection: The Food Safety and Inspection Service
(FSIS) has been delegated the authority to exercise the functions of
the Secretary as provided in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). These statues mandate that FSIS protect the public
by verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, not
adulterated, and properly labeled and packaged.
FSIS requires that all grinders or choppers of raw beef products,
beef manufacturing trimmings, or trimmings fabricated at retail
intended for use in raw ground or chopped beef products, including
retail facilities, are persons required by FMIA to keep records which
will fully and correctly disclose all transactions involved in their
business subject to the Act. If not doing so already, these businesses
must maintain records that disclose the identity and supplier of all
materials used in the preparation of each lot of raw ground or chopped
beef product.
Need and Use of the Information: FSIS requires that all
establishments and retail stores that grind or chop beef products are
required to keep these records. These records provide critical
information about how, when, and where raw ground or chopped beef
product was prepared, shipped, received, stored, and handled, which are
essential to illness outbreak investigations, recalls, and other agency
public health activities conducted by FSIS.
In addition, FSIS requires that specific information be kept in the
required records and that retail stores maintain store-designed systems
that allow them to link individual packages of raw ground or chopped
beef products prepared and sold by them to the required records. The
required records must include the following information:
1. Name, point of contact (name, title, email, and facsimile
number) telephone number, and establishment number of the Federal,
State, or foreign establishment supplying the raw source material,
2. Supplier lot numbers and production dates for each raw source
material used; and,
3. The names of the supplied materials.
