The one time I saw a federal regulator at my last job, I was coached for literally a week on exactly what to tell him by management. Day of, I just ignored them and pointed out all the obvious safety issues once we were in the private meeting. No advisories were given based off of my advice anyway. :yea:
my only directive when i was a manager and a usda guy came in was to immediately run to get the manager on duty and basically flee the scene lol minimize who contacts them.
probalbly for reasons like what you did! because i would have brought some stuff up too
we had USDA inspectors at the pork plant I worked at for a few months... they were required to make the rounds every shift
i only ever saw them maybe a handful of times and each time they didn't actually walk through the packaging dept to inspect anything.. they just came, checked all the boxes on the sheets hanging on the wall at the entrance/exit, and disappeared again
our company does it's own health inspections. you can guess how that goes down
never seen federal in my entire career and only see the state guy once every few years and hes bought off
