To require official establishments to promptly notify the appropriate district office that an adulterated or misbranded meat or poultry product has entered commerce;
To require official establishments to prepare and maintain written procedures recalling all meat and poultry products produced and shipped by the establishment; and
To require official establishments to document each reassessment of the establishment's Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plans.
