Arizona Administrative Code › Title 3 - AGRICULTURE › Chapter 2 - DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE - ANIMAL SERVICES DIVISION › Article 11 - VOLUNTARY EGG GRADING PROGRAM › Section R3-2-1124 - Use of the "Produced From" Labeling

Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A. Use of the wording "Produced From" in
				conjunction with the AZDA grademark, is limited to products derived from AZDA
				Grade AA or Grade A eggs for which there are no U.S. grade standards (e.g.,
				pasteurized eggs or hard-cooked eggs). The following guidelines are to be used
				when monitoring the official grade identification of these types of products.
1. Approval. Applicants interested in
				utilizing the "Produced From" labeling must submit a written proposal to the
				Administrator. The proposal is to include the type(s) of product to be labeled
				and the applicant's plan for controlling the use and labeling of officially
				identified product. After review by the supervisor, the supervisor is to
				forward the request to the Administrator for final review and approval. Upon
				approval, the supervisor is to reconfirm all of the requirements with the
				applicant prior to any actual grade identification.
2. Verification visits. To assure that only
				officially graded eggs are being used, the processing, packing, and packaging
				must be closely monitored. Each verification visit shall include a review of
				records, product inventory, processing procedures, packing, packaging, storage,
				and shipping practices to confirm that the applicant is following the protocol
				outlined in their approved plan. In plants with resident service, the
				supervisor or Administrator is to be present during the initial production
				period to monitor the process and verify compliance. The grader will conduct
				all subsequent monitoring and verification activities with oversight from the
				supervisor. In temporary or fee locations, plant management must notify the
				supervisor each time the "produced from" labeling will be used or,
				alternatively, provide the supervisor with a projected production schedule. At
				these locations, compliance will be based on the applicant's established
				history of compliance as outlined in the following schedule:
a. Level 1 - The supervisor or administrator
				is to monitor and verify the process on the initial day of production. The
				supervisor or a grader will conduct subsequent visits. At least one additional
				verification visit is to be conducted during the next 10 production days. If no
				discrepancies are noted, one visit is to be conducted for each 30 days of
				production until three consecutive satisfactory visits have been completed.
				Once this verification period has ended without any noted program
				non-conformance, monitoring may proceed to Level 2.
b. Level 2 - supervisor or a grader is to
				conduct quarterly verification visits provided the applicant continues to meet
				all program requirements. If any nonconformance is noted during these visits,
				monitoring reverts back to Level 1. Misuse of the labeling will result in
				cancellation of the approval.
Arizona Administrative Code › Title 3 - AGRICULTURE › Chapter 2 - DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE - ANIMAL SERVICES DIVISION › Article 11 - VOLUNTARY EGG GRADING PROGRAM › Section R3-2-1125 - Specification Grading

Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A.
				Applicants may request for additional specifications to be certified that
				exceed the standards of this chapter. The requested specifications must be
				submitted in writing to the administrator for approval. The approving official
				will review the information for approval or advise the applicant of the reason
				or reasons for disapproval. If the specification is approved, a letter
				enclosing a copy of the approved application and specification will be returned
				to the applicant with a request to provide copies of the specification to each
				supplier and applicable AZDA grader. Each page of the approved specification
				will have an approval stamp bearing the date of approval and the signature of
				the approving official. Additionally, each page will be sequentially numbered
				such as page 1 of 5, page 2 of 5, etc.
B. Plant management is responsible for
				advising graders when they are preparing to pack eggs in accordance with an
				approved specification. However, each grader must be familiar with the approved
				specification list and, to the extent practically possible, be aware when
				products with approved specifications are being packed at the duty location.
				When a plant packs product requiring compliance with an approved specification,
				the grader shall obtain a copy of the specification from plant management and
				assure that all provisions of the specification are met. As applicable, product
				that meets specification requirements will be identified in accordance with
				procedures outlined in the approved specification. When the specification
				requires the issuance of a grading certificate, the following statement is to
				be placed in the remarks section of the certificate: "Product covered by this
				certificate meets specification requirements for _______."
