　　��120.10 Corrective actions.

　　Whenever a deviation from a critical limit occurs, a processor shall take corrective action by following the procedures set forth in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this section.

　　(a) Processors may develop written corrective action plans, which become part of their HACCP plans in accordance with ��120.8(b)(5), by which processors predetermine the corrective actions that they will take whenever there is a deviation from a critical limit. A corrective action plan that is appropriate for a particular deviation is one that describes the steps to be taken and assigns responsibility for taking those steps, to ensure that:

　　(1) No product enters commerce that is either injurious to health or is otherwise adulterated as a result of the deviation; and

　　(2) The cause of the deviation is corrected.

　　(b) When a deviation from a critical limit occurs, and the processor does not have a corrective action plan that is appropriate for that deviation, the processor shall:

　　(1) Segregate and hold the affected product, at least until the requirements of paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section are met;

　　(2) Perform or obtain a review to determine the acceptability of the affected product for distribution. The review shall be performed by an individual or individuals who have adequate training or experience to perform such review;

　　(3) Take corrective action, when necessary, with respect to the affected product to ensure that no product enters commerce that is either injurious to health or is otherwise adulterated as a result of the deviation;

　　(4) Take corrective action, when necessary, to correct the cause of the deviation; and

　　(5) Perform or obtain timely verification in accordance with ��120.11, by an individual or individuals who have been trained in accordance with ��120.13, to determine whether modification of the HACCP plan is required to reduce the risk of recurrence of the deviation, and to modify the HACCP plan as necessary.

　　(c) All corrective actions taken in accordance with this section shall be fully documented in records that are subject to verification in accordance with ��120.11(a)(1)(iv)(B) and the recordkeeping requirements of ��120.12.
