Which acronym represents corrective actions by the establishment under SSOPs?

• A. DRiP
• B. DRiD
• C. DRiC
• D. DRiL

Answer: (A)

In FSIS practice, when sanitation procedures (SSOPs) aren’t followed, the establishment must take corrective actions and document them. This documentation is done through a DRiP, which stands for a Deviation Report. The DRiP records what went wrong, the immediate corrective actions taken, and the steps to verify that the issue is resolved and not repeated, including any preventive actions and product disposition if needed. This keeps a clear, inspectable trail showing that the establishment addressed the deviation properly.

The other acronyms listed aren’t the standard form for capturing corrective actions under SSOPs, so they don’t fit the established documentation process in this context.
