IPP issue NRs for Good Commercial Practices when they observe which of the following?

The correct answer pertains to the observation of evidence indicating a loss of process control in the receiving through pre-scald areas. Good Commercial Practices (GCP) are essential in ensuring that the handling and processing of poultry meet standards that promote food safety and humane treatment. A loss of process control in critical areas indicates that the facility may not be following established protocols, which can lead to significant food safety risks and violate the standards set by USDA.

When there is evidence of loss of control in receiving and pre-scald, it often implies that the poultry may not have been handled properly before entering the scalding phase, which is crucial for ensuring that any contaminants on the birds are effectively removed. This can have repercussions on both the safety of the food supplied to consumers and the overall processing quality.

While the other options highlight serious issues related to animal welfare or processing standards, they do not directly correlate with good commercial practices for process control in the way the correct answer does. Maintaining tight control over receiving and pre-scald operations is vital for minimizing foodborne illnesses and ensuring compliance with established safety practices.
