Out of an abundance of caution...

"H-E-B announced today (11/18/2016) that it has issued a precautionary recall of its entire H-E-B Baby Food 2 pack 4 oz. cups product line only. As of this afternoon, the H-E-B Baby Food 2 pack 4 oz. cups were removed from shelves out of an abundance of caution due to a customer report of a small piece of rubber found inside a single container of one variety of the product."

This was the first item that came up on the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition webpage.  I was on that site, because I just received a call from my inspector to inform me that in going over my 295 page application, they discovered that I did not have a properly filed pre-shipment review log.  I'd never even heard of the thing.

"What's that?"
"It's a record keeping device that says that prior to shipment of the product (NB I don't actually ship anything) all CCP's were properly followed."
"Oh.  Ok."
"It's a redundancy measure.  You've already certified three times in other places that you've done this, but if you don't have one, that is automatic grounds for product recall and destruction."
"Oh. Ok"
"Yeah, it's kind of a big deal."
"Oh. Ok"
"Also, you need to have a thermometer calibration SOP, a signature page, a calibration log sheet and I saw that you only referenced an article in one of your rationales, so we need you to provide that entire article, and, and, and.... so myself and the regional director will be by Monday morning at 9 am to go over all of this with you and detail our expectations for your operation."
"Oh. Ok. Thanks."

Folks, I butchered  and packaged 68 chickens for a single farm.  SIXTY EIGHT!!!!!!!!

That inspector was here for 8 hours all total for 68 chickens.  He stood beside me or behind me the entire time.

The average poultry processing plant goes through about 100,000 broilers in an 8 hour shift.  His counterpart was paid the same amount of money as him for the same time period to certify that 100,000 chickens got the same exact stamp my 68 birds did.  Something has gone seriously off the rails here.

Ima hava drink.
