Box #3 - Reduced Inspection Level: (Double sampling plan) (Min. Once per hour) Using the 1^st Ac & Re numbers, less than Ac, remain in box #3. Between Ac & Re, go to Box #4. Greater than Re, go to Box #5. Box #4 flows from Box #3.

Box #4 - Conduct second test using the 2^nd Ac & Re number:

• If the cumulative total is less than Ac, return to Box #3.
• Between Ac & Re, accept the lot, but return to #1.
• If the cumulative total is greater than Re, go to box #5. Box #5 flows from Box #4.

• Less than Ac, go to Box #9. Between Ac & Re, go to Box #8. Greater than Re, go to Box #10. Box #8 flows from Box # 7.

Box #8 - Conduct second test using the 2^nd Ac & Re numbers:

• If the cumulative total is less than Ac, got to Box #9.
• If the cumulative total is greater than Re, go to Box #10. Boxes #9 and #10 flow from Box #8.

Box #9 - Group Accepted:

• Increase line speed if a reduction was the corrective action. Continue at tightened level (retest in 10 minutes) until five consecutive groups are accepted on original inspection.
• Less than 5 consecutive acceptable, go to Box #7.

Box #10 - Group not accepted:

• Immediate 10 % line speed reduction.Corrective actions which shall include review of applicable CCPs. Retest in 10 minutes. Go to Box #7.

Postchill Product verification**

• Reduced level ISO at the postchill station for every 15 minutes of production of potentially defective carcasses. (Previous subsection)
• Accept greater than continue postchill testing
• Reject greater than corrective actions
• Note: If 5 consecutive prechill groups are not accepted while on tightened inspection level:
  A)Inform management that 5 group have not been accepted
  B) Discontinue hanging of live birds
  C) Assess why previous corrective actions were not effective and develop an action plan
  D) Resume operation upon Veterinarian in Charge’s (or inspector under his supervision) approval of corrective actions and action plan.
