What is a written record that documents noncompliance with FSIS regulations and requires corrective actions and preventive measures?

• A. Corrective Action Plan
• B. Internal Audit
• C. Noncompliance Record
• D. Notice of Intended Enforcement

Answer: (C)

Documenting a failure to meet FSIS regulations in a written record that requires corrective actions and preventive measures is the Noncompliance Record. This record captures what was observed, which regulation was involved, where and when the issue occurred, and the evidence. It then specifies the actions needed to correct the nonconformance and the preventive measures to prevent recurrence, including who is responsible and by when. The Corrective Action Plan is the plan detailing how those fixes will be implemented and verified, not the record itself. An Internal Audit is a separate review process to identify gaps, not a single instance of noncompliance. A Notice of Intended Enforcement is a formal enforcement action, not the routine documentation of a nonconformance that triggers corrective actions.
