IPP issue NRs for Good Commercial Practices when they observe which condition?

• A. Birds be cut and bled out without stunned
• B. Evidence of a loss of process control in the receiving through pre-scald areas
• C. Instances of plant employees mistreating birds
• D. 20 or more cadavers observed by online inspectors during a shift

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that Good Commercial Practices require maintaining consistent control of the process from the moment product enters the plant onward. When an inspector sees a loss of process control across the receiving area all the way through the pre-scald stage, it signals a systemic deviation from established GMPs and HACCP-like controls. That kind of ongoing, cross-step breakdown can affect safety, quality, and compliance, so it’s the type of condition that prompts issuing a nonconformance report to document the deficiency and require corrective action. The other scenarios describe serious issues—humane handling, employee misconduct, or isolated high counts of dead birds—but they are either specific incidents or welfare concerns rather than a broad, ongoing loss of process control across the critical flow that GMPs aim to govern.
