Instructions for Completing FGIS‑952‑1
1. Name of plant and physical address of the sanitation inspection.
2. Name of the company or individual that owns the plant.
3. Name of the inspector performing the inspection.

4. Date of inspection.

5. Name and title of plant personnel that accompanied the inspector during the

inspection.

6. Assigned Defect Points. This column contains pre-assigned individual defect
points. The range of points assigned is based on the importance of the defect item to the
maintenance of good sanitation in the plant. For example, the defect item “Presence or evidence
of rodents in plant,” is assigned a point range of 0 to 5; whereas, “Waste not properly stored or
contained,” is assigned a point range of 0 to 3. The most serious defects do not have assigned
defect points but are listed as “critical.”
7. Inspector’s Defect Points. In this column rate the individual defect item based on
your opinion as to the relative potential for product contamination. If the item is clean and
presents no sanitation problem, assign 0 defect points to the item. If the item is relatively clean
but not perfect, assign 1 or 2 defect points to the item. If the item is insanitary or presents a
clear hazard to sanitary operations, assign the maximum defect points possible for that item.
Score critical Items as either “pass” or “fail.” For example, the item “Presence of live insects in
processing or product storage areas (two or more)” is a critical item. When any type of insect is
present in the number indicated, it is a critical defect. Use the back of the form for remarks and
explain critical defects to clearly describe the conditions observed.

8. Total the Inspector’s Defect Points. If the SIR score meets or exceeds 46, consider
plant operations insanitary. A plant may not have any critical items but their overall sanitary
condition is so poor that they should discontinue processing and have a general cleanup or initiate
a maintenance program. Evaluate plants in this condition based on their total SIR score.

9.
Remarks.

10. Name of inspector who completed report.

11. Date of inspection.

Immediately after completing the SIR, give a copy to the plant representative. This copy is the plant’s
written notification of the conditions found.
