E-4 Additional Quality Assurance Provisions for Filled and Sealed Pouch Examinations for Critical Category Defects 

These procedures shall be applied to inspection results where critical defects are a determining factor in the 

rejection of a lot, and where the finding of any one critical defect shall be cause for rejection of the lot. Change 

in severity of inspection shall be based on the critical defect category and determined by component type, regardless 

of lot size. Normal inspection shall continue unchanged for the critical category of defects on successive lots except 

where the procedures given in this sub-section, E-4, require a change in the severity of the inspection, from Normal 

to Tightened or Re-Tightened. The procedures given in this sub-section, E-4, shall be used to switch from Tightened 

states of inspection to Normal inspection. There will be no “reduced” inspection option. The Government has the right 

to discontinue Government inspection as cited in this sub-section, E-4, or the MPC clause or both.

1. For each end-item lot offered by the contractor for government acceptance, the contractor is required to perform an 

end-item examination of the lot's filled-and-sealed pouches for those critical category defects described in the 

quality assurance provisions of the product's specification (ex. MIL-PRF-44073, PKG&QAP MIL-DTL-32347). The rules for 

initiation of inspection, continuation of inspection, switching procedures, etc., found in sub-section E-4 are 

applicable. 

1. The Government QAR will notify the contractor of a change in the severity of inspection as a result of Government 

origin inspections. The contractor is required to perform inspections which provide the same risk (equal or better) as 

those performed by the Government (ex: the contractor must select for end item examination, as a minimum, the same 

number of samples selected by the Government for end item inspection).

Laboratory Analysis for Microbiological Testing. 

1. Don't Panic! Now is the time to review your operations and gather data. The following actions are provided in order 

for the contractor and the Government to be best prepared in the event the presumptive positive is confirmed an actual 

positive. 

 2. Identify, segregate, and place suspect lot on medical hold. 

3. Identify all ingredients used in suspect lot by manufacturer and lot number. 

4. Identify all other products/lots with ingredients in common to the suspect lot. If other products/lots were 

produced with any of the same ingredients (manufacturer and lot number) as the suspect lot, locate, segregate, and 

place those lots on medical hold. 
CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

PAGE 5 OF 7 PAGES

SPE3S121R0001 - 0002

5. Do not produce any further products/lots with the same ingredients (manufacturer and lot number) as the suspected 

lot, place these ingredients on medical hold. 

6. If currently producing with the same ingredients (manufacturer and lot number) as the suspected lot, ensure the 

product is identified, segregated, and placed on medical hold. 

Steps 2-6 are to ensure that suspect product and/or common ingredients from suspected lot do not enter the supply 

chain. Recommend a spreadsheet be developed listing end products by lots against ingredients by lots. 

7. Identify all lots produced after the suspect lot for which the same equipment was used in blending, processing, 

and/or packaging. 

8. Identify when involved equipment was wet washed and sanitized prior to and after the production of the suspect lot. 

9. Review all production, maintenance, sanitation, and QA records for the day before and the day of suspect lot 

production. 

10. Review visitor logs for the day before and day of production. 

11. Review employee records for the day before and the day of production. 

12. Review facility environmental conditions (e.g., temporary standing water due to heavy rains; broken windows or 

doors; storage areas, etc.) for the day before and day of production. 

Steps 7-12 are to determine if something happened the day of production or the day prior that may have lead to 

contamination of the product or its ingredients. 

13. Consider conducting a full sanitation cycle (for example, wet wash and sanitize equipment/line) on the line the 

suspect lot was produced on. Also consider a full sanitation cycle on any other line that common ingredients 

(manufacturer and lot number) to the suspect lot were use in. 

14. Determine relationships between the suspect lot all other products with respect to: a) equipment/environment; b) 

personnel; and c) ingredients. 

15. Review collected data for completeness and await results of confirmation testing; you are now prepared should the 

presumptive be confirmed as an actual positive. In your review if you identify a probable/possible source of 

contamination you should take immediate corrective action and notify the government. 

16. The government may require additional inspection/review prior to certification of products offered during the 

interim period between notification of presumptive positive and the results of the confirmation test. To include, but 

not limited, to certification/verification that the offered lot has no relationship (equipment/environment; personnel; 

ingredients) to the presumptive lot. 

Recommended Actions Following NOTIFICATION OF CONFIRMED POSITIVE Laboratory Analysis for Microbiological Testing. 

17. Panic! -- only if you have not followed the recommended immediate actions when notified of the presumptive 

positive. 

18. Develop a detailed report with the above gathered information. It is the responsibility of the contractor to 

provide the government a detailed report indicating the probable/possible source of contamination, relationships 

between the suspect lot and all other government products, and a corrective action plan to prevent recurrence. 

19. Once the government has a full detailed report from the contractor the government will determine what further 

action(s) is/are required to ensure offered products meet government requirements. 

20. Further actions may include, but are not limited to, increased auditing by the U.S. Army Public Health Center, 

additional product testing, tightened inspection requirements, additional testing of other lots/products, testing of 

raw ingredients, submission of manufacturers certificates, or condemnation. 

21. Any product lot found nonconforming due to microbiological testing will NOT be accepted by the government under 

any condition. Retesting or reworking confirmed positive lots is not authorized.

when nonconforming Microbiological test results are detected or a presumptive positive alert for Salmonella or 

Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been issued by the USDA National Science Laboratory performing the test. 

2. Identify, segregate, and place suspect lot on medical hold. 

3. Identify all ingredients used in suspect lot by manufacturer and lot number.
