FSIS Inspection And Mission (IM) Training Practice Test

Noncompliance is defined as _______________:

an establishment's failure to meet a regulatory requirement an establishment's failure to comply with instructions in the Acts an establishment's failure to follow published FSIS Guidelines an establishment's failure to follow instructions in an FSIS Directive

Correct Answer:

an establishment's failure to meet a regulatory requirement

Explanation:

Noncompliance means the establishment failed to meet a regulatory requirement. In FSIS work, those regulatory requirements are the mandatory rules codified in regulations and statutes. Guidelines and directives exist to guide operations, but they are not the binding standard of enforcement in themselves. So a plant is noncompliant when it does not satisfy a codified regulatory requirement (for example, a required sanitation standard or labeling rule).
