19.8.6.3.1 Flow Chart for Inspection Levels for Bagged Poultry Carcasses Crust Frozen by Immersion in Liquid Refrigerant

The Flow Chart for Bagged Poultry Carcasses Crust Frozen by Immersion in Liquid Refrigerant with Normal Inspection Level leads to three possibilities:

  1. The sample is accepted AND the number of accepted lots in the last 10 consecutive lots is less than 10, which leads to continue sampling at Normal Inspection level.
  2. The sample is accepted AND the number of accepted lots in the last 10 consecutive lots is equal to 10, which leads to switching to Reduced Inspection level.
  3. The sample is rejected, which leads to an immediate retest.
    1. If the immediate retest is accepted, continue sampling at Normal Inspection level.
    2. If the immediate retest is rejected, switch to Process Action and Tightened Inspection Level.

The Reduced Inspection Level has two possibilities:

  1. The sample is accepted, which leads to continuing sampling at Reduced Inspection level.
  2. The sample is rejected, which leads to an immediate retest.
    1. If the immediate retest is accepted, continue sampling at Reduced Inspection level
    2. If the immediate retest is rejected, switch to Process Action and Tightened Inspection Level.

The Process Action and Tightened Inspection Level have two possibilities:

  1. The sample is accepted, which leads to switching sampling at Normal Inspection level.
  2. The sample is rejected, which leads to continuing sampling at Process Action and Tightened Inspection Level.

The Meat Inspection Regulations have precedence over this decision tree.
