POULTRY PRODUCT SAMPLING AND VERIFICATION PROCEDURES 

Purpose 

This instruction defines sampling procedures, sampling plans, and record keeping. 

Procedures 

I. Sampling Procedures 

A. Sample Frequency 

The grader will select a sample of carcasses, parts, or further processed product within a random time 

interval. For an 8-hour day, a minimum of eight samples will be selected; for a 9-hour day, nine 

samples, etc. The time interval between samples may vary from 10 minutes to 11⁄2 hours of operation. 

The time each sample is selected and the interval between sample times during the day should vary 

daily. However, smaller sampling intervals increase the chances of isolating segments of lower 

quality within a production day. Unless otherwise specified, the sampling intervals for all products 

must not exceed 11⁄2 hours. 

B. Sample Selection 

For multiple-line operations, samples may be: (a) selected on an individual line basis, or (b) in equal 

proportions from each line or production area. If method (a) is used, the production from each line 

will be sampled individually without considering the other lines, provided product identification from 

each line is possible. If method (b) is used, all production of a particular item graded during a given 

time period must be included when grade retention is required. 

Graders should use caution to prevent adjustments when collecting samples. Whenever possible, 

grading should be performed on ice- or bulk-pack product after packing and on consumer-packaged 

product just prior to bagging or overwrapping. If checks are made prior to final packaging, such 

grading may not be performed on a moving line. Product must be removed from the line prior to 

performing the examination. In cases where removal of 30 consecutive carcasses may affect 

production efficiencies, the grader, with the supervisor’s concurrence, will establish procedures to 

minimize any such disruptions. 

If possible, product should be sampled prior to overwrapping or bagging in order to reduce destructive 

sampling. When sampling cannot be accomplished in an unbiased manner, destructive sampling must 

be used. For verification purposes, some product should be checked each day after overwrapping or 

bagging and before freezing to observe styling, weepage, etc. When requested by management and 

when time permits, check some under grade carcasses and parts each day (at least 30 carcasses or 

parts per sample) to determine whether there are Grade A carcasses or parts in the under-grade pack

and record the results on the worksheet. Review the undergrades with authorized graders or the 

packing room supervisor as requested by management. 

When no product is graded during a shift for a given period, the grader must record this fact on the 

applicable reporting form. Interruptions in grading during the day are not cause to start over on the 

cumulative-sum (Cu-Sum) procedures. However, Cu-Sum sampling procedures must start over 

whenever the production shift changes. 

C. Sample Results 

1. Adjustments 

When the sampling results indicate adjustments are needed, the grader is required to discuss the 

problem with the designated person and request necessary adjustments to eliminate or reduce 

defective factors. The grader should provide management reasonable time to initiate corrections 

to the gradeline and/or process before grading the next sample. NOTE: if adjustments are not 

initiated immediately or the sample contained significant under grades, the grader should take 

additional samples to prevent under grade product from being officially identified as complying 

with applicable standards. 

2. Retention 

When official grading results indicate that there are excessive under grades requiring product 

retention, all production from the time the noncompliance sample was completed to the last 

acceptable sample must be retained. Acceptable procedures, approved by the respective grading 

supervisor, must be established for identifying product produced between each sampling interval. 

The affected product must be reworked to remove the undergrades and regraded to determine 

compliance with the applicable grade standards. Guidelines for “reworking” are listed in QAD 

538. Under certain conditions, management may request that the retained product be resampled 

on a stationary lot basis. Guidelines for stationary lot resampling are listed in QAD 538. 

D. Sampling – Return from Absence 

When a grader has been absent and returns to the official grading station, it is necessary to sample the 

product that was graded during the period of absence. A full-size sample will be used in accordance 

with the stationary lot grading procedures. Graders must indicate the time away from the official 

station. Show where the sample was selected; that is the cooler, etc. Graders may not be absent from 

their duty station when the product would be in a frozen or semi-frozen state, or otherwise not capable 

of being graded in a normal manner.

II. Cumulative-Sum Sampling Plans 

A. General 

The cumulative-sum (Cu-Sum) based online sampling method is used in determining compliance with 

applicable grade standards and specification requirements relating to product quality. Cu-Sum 

procedures provide a tool for assessing when process control parameters need adjusting so product 

will comply with applicable standards or when such standards or specific tolerances are exceeded. 

This sampling method uses a carryover system that responds readily to variability in product quality 

during production. 

Each Cu-Sum sample plan is based on a defect target level to assess overall product quality and 

process control. The initial startup tolerance is tightened on the first sample to assure the average 

number of defects does not exceed the target level for the production period. This tightened tolerance 

is used at the beginning of each shift or anytime a new product is graded. When the sample results 

meet the tightened or individual sample tolerance (carryover plus actual defects), the product the 

applicable sample represents may be shipped immediately. If the first sample has more defects than 

allowed requiring product retention, the startup tolerance is applicable to the second sample. When 

production of any graded product stops for more than 90 minutes and then later resumes on the same 

shift, the sample after graded production begins again will use the initial tightened tolerance. If a 

retention is necessary on the first sample, product will be retained back to when production of graded 

product began after the break. 

The worksheets are designed to show when the defects exceed the target level for the applicable 

sample plan (shaded box). When this occurs, the defects exceeding the target level are carried over to 

the next sample to determine the maximum allowable tolerance. As the carryover increases, the 

tolerance tightens and product quality must improve to avoid retention. A carryover system provides 

online process control by preventing acceptance of product represented by several consecutive 

samples that exceed average tolerance requirements. Additionally, this mechanism gives advanced 

notice of changes in overall process control relative to product quality. When the target level is 

exceeded, the sampling frequency should be increased (as time permits) to provide a more accurate 

assessment of product quality and process control. Once the number of defects and/or carryover is 

equal to or less than the maximum for the target level, the normal sampling frequency may resume. 

Record each carcass, part, piece or component as one defective unit regardless of the amount of 

defects found on each piece. As an example: a breast lobe may have a tendon, discolorations and 

bone less than 0.40 inches. The defect would be recorded as bone. 

B. Sample Plan Level 1 (SPL1) – Whole Carcasses and Parts 

Level 1 sampling is based on a target level of three defects or 10 percent. The tightened, startup 

tolerance for SPL1 (two defects) is preprinted in the sample forms with diagonal lines through the 

spaces. The sample size consists of 30 units of product. Form LP-232L1 will be used for recording

the results of each sample (Exhibit 1). The Level 1 sample grid on the following page shows the 

startup tolerance of two defects. This form will be used for all poultry carcasses and parts unless 

Sample Plan Level 2 has been authorized as part of a specification. 

Using a target level of three, no individual sample may contain more than five defects including 

carryover. Whenever a sample of 30 contains 6 or more defects (individually or carryover plus 

defects), the product must be retained. The example below shows that the samples and total under 

grades are acceptable. (This principle applies to all products.)

C. Sample Plan Level 2 (SPL2) – Further Processed Products, Turkey Roasts and Reduced 

Sampling 

1. Further Processed Products and Reduced Sampling 

Level 2 is designated for further processed products and reduced sampling. The tightened, startup 

tolerance for SPL2 (two defects) is marked with diagonal lines through the spaces. Level 2 

sampling is based on a target level of two defects. When examining further processed products or 

grading on a reduced sampling basis, the sample size will consist of 10 units of product. Record 

each defect on the worksheet individually unless otherwise stated in applicable commodity 

instructions. The following provisions apply when using SPL2 for reduced sampling: 

Slow lines - A slow line is one where production flow does not provide enough product so that 

a sample of 30 whole carcasses or parts or 10 further processed items can be selected within 5 

minutes. 

Switching line speed - For lines where production flow shifts from normal to slow, per 

supervisors’ approval, switching from SPL 1 to SPL 2 is acceptable, and may be done until the 

end of the shift. Bring forward carryover from SPL1 to SPL2. The tightened start-up

tolerance will only be used at the beginning of the shift. Any change must be recorded in the 

remarks section. 

U.S. Grade B and C - If a plant is grading a significant volume of Grade B or Grade C product, 

the supervisor, at his/her discretion may require that Sample Plan 1 or Sample Plan 2 be used 

accordingly. 

Other - SPL2 may be applied in other grading circumstances or situations that warrant the use 

of reduced sampling when reviewed and approved by the National Poultry Supervisor. 

For slow lines, sampling intervals must vary between 1 to 2 hours of operation.

2. Turkey Roasts 

For Grade A turkey roasts, graders must use the criteria in Part 70.230 of the standards, the current 

commodity specification, and the applicable commodity instructions for determining compliance. 

When checking finished product, each sample must consist of three roasts. Each roast must be 

examined for external quality factors, skin coverage, fabrication percentages, length, diameter, and 

weight range. Weight range checks will apply only to commodity specifications or when listed as 

part of the contract. Regarding feathers, the criteria for Grade A parts outlined in this section will 

apply. The LP-232L2 worksheet will be used to record the results of each sample. The startup 

tolerance and upper limit (indicating retention) used for further processed products will be the 

same for turkey roasts. However, the acceptance criteria will be tighter to correspond with the 

smaller sample size. Therefore, a defective roast must be recorded on the worksheet by entering 

two checkmarks. This method of data entry will provide the correct acceptance criteria for roasts. 

A roast will be considered defective regardless of the number of individual defects encountered. 

When the upper limit is exceeded, retention is necessary.

III. Guidelines for Inplant Cooler Grading 

Since most product is sampled and grade identified using online sampling procedures, graders are 

usually not required to make verification gradings of fresh graded product from the cooler. Unless 

destructive sampling is required, supervisory personnel should sample product that was produced 

under the grader’s supervision. 

IV. Sampling by Weight 

A. Online Sampling 

For products sampled by weight (i.e., 2 or 5-pound sample) online, the individual number of defects 

must not exceed a maximum tolerance of 3 provided no carryover or tightened tolerance limits. For 

uniformity purposes, a retention must be recorded by entering the defect. Using a target level of two, 

no individual sample may contain more than three defects including carryover. For example, if four 

tendons were found in a sample of diced chicken, the product would be retained for exceeding the 

individual tolerance (3 defects). The “Type of Defect” section on the worksheet will continue to be 

used for recording defects. 

B. Lot Sampling 

For products sampled by weight on a lot basis (origin or destination), the defect tolerance will be 

determined by using the following formula: 

No. Sample Units (SU) X No. Defect Categories (DC) = Sample Factor (SF) 

Sample Factor X 10 % (Target Level) = Defect Tolerance 

As shown above, the formula is based on the number of defects (including bone), number of sample 

units, and a target level of 10 percent. Since the defect categories differ in number and kind for each 

type of product, the formula is designed to account for these variables and provide an appropriate 

defect tolerance. Consequently, the total number of defect categories allowed would change with the 

potential number of defect categories that can occur. This formula will work for any product sampled

by weight regardless of the number of categories associated with processing. The following example 

demonstrates the formula to determine the defect tolerance for 400 cases of diced chicken at 

destination: 

Number of defect categories = 6 Number of sample units = 14 (2 per case) 

Formula 14 SU X 6 DC = SF 84 

SF 84 X 10 % = 9 (8.4) Defects Allowed 

When the final calculation results in a decimal number, the decimal value will always be rounded up 

to the next whole number. This method of rounding provides the appropriate level of integrity to 

correspond with the online sampling criteria. The tables below are being provided with the precalculated tolerance for size-reduced meat > 0.50 inch and trim (5 categories) and size-reduced meat < 

0.50 inch (2 categories).

If sample sizes exceed 20 units or new product tolerances are needed, the formula may be used to 

calculate the applicable tolerance with supervisory concurrence. 

V. Documentation and Record Keeping 

A. General 

Sample results must be placed on Form LP-232L1 or L2 as applicable and posted at the end of each

determine grading accuracy and to record the reasons for undergrade product, LP-232L2 is also 

designed for use when checking further processing, reprocessing, or specification attributes for 

commodity purchase programs, approved commercial specifications, etc. Additionally, the online 

method of sampling for packaging and packing defects has been incorporated on this form. 

B. Recording Sample Results 

Exhibit 1 has been provided to assist graders in completing specific sections of the form. The 

following guidelines will be used to complete each section of the worksheets: 

1. Form LP 232-L1 and L2 (front) – Exhibit 1 

Section 1 - Graders will complete this section as shown in the Exhibit. 

Section 2 - List the item being graded or checked, the product’s grade, and date of grading. 

The “Item” box is used to describe further processed items or to further identify graded items. 

Section 3 - Identify each defect on the worksheet with a check mark. Upon entering the results 

of each sample, the number of defects exceeding the target line (shaded box) must be carried 

over to the next column. Each carryover will be identified with an “X.” The tightened 

tolerance on the first sample has been preprinted since it remains unchanged. 

When the number of defects and carryover exceed the upper limit (SPL1 = 5, SPL2 = 3) the 

product must be retained. On the applicable LP-232, identify the sampling periods that require 

retention by circling the appropriate sample number with a contrasting colored pen or marker. 

When product is retained for excessive under grades, the carryover will be from the last 

acceptable sample preceding the product retention. The sample number used on the next 

sample will always be the next consecutive number. 

During periods of nonofficial grading, the grader will record the letters “NG” for “No 

Grading” in the sample column for each sampling interval that official grading is interrupted. 

Once official grading resumes, the carryover for the next sample will be based on the last 

acceptable sample recorded. Additionally, when there are no defects or carryover 

encountered for a sampling interval, place a “0” in the sample column. 

Section 4 - This section is provided to record the amount and type of defects. This information 

will assist both graders and plant management in assessing online process controls. A check 

or hash mark will be placed in the column for each defect found. Following each shift or 

production period, the defects will be added for each category and recorded in the “TOTAL” 

column. Defect categories are described in the upper right corner of each worksheet. 

Section 5 - List the amount of product retained and disposition. Also, document when plant 

management is advised concerning product quality, retentions, etc., and other pertinent 

information.

Section 6 - Each defect will be checked separately according to the requirements listed in the

applicable specification. The sample results will indicate whether the sample was either 

satisfactory ( or S) or unsatisfactory (X or U) as applicable.

Section 7 - This section is provided for sample results when completing the online packaging 

and packing examination. See QAD 617 for specific instructions.

Section 8 - When applicable, record the 72-hour freezer verification results, production, 

production time, and parts count.

Section 9 - List the amount of product retained and disposition. Also, document when plant

management is advised concerning product quality, retentions, etc. This section may be used 

to document additional results required for certain specifications and comments to support

grading activities. 

If a plant processes more than one class or part of poultry the same day, grade and record sample

results on a separate worksheet for each class. Show under grade checks on a separate LP-232. The

entire form should be utilized. Grading results for more than 1 day may be recorded on one

worksheet. When recording under grades for information purposes, it’s not necessary to use

carryover.
