The infractions are listed on an inspection report dated Oct. 10, 2008. They include:

-slime on part of the meat-trimming table in the curing room;

-meat debris on two steel container bins and unidentified debris on the brine tank in the curing room;

-a moist and mouldy cardboard sheet on the base of a skid in the curing room that holds bags of salt;

-mouldy caulking on the walls of the meat-defrosting room;

-a stack of dirty, mouldy and broken skids left in the frozen packoff room during cleaning;

-food debris on knife holders, floor and meat containers in the formulation room; and,

-rust on equipment used to process mock chicken.”
