Ace the FSIS Inspection Methods Test 2026 – Inspect, Conquer, Thrive!

Noncompliance findings are documented on a Noncompliance Record. This is the formal document used to list each violation observed during an inspection, including the specific regulation cited, a clear description of the condition, its severity, and any required corrective actions with timelines. It provides the official record that supports enforcement steps if the establishment does not correct the issue. An Inspection Report gives an overall summary of the inspection and results, while PHIS is the electronic system that stores inspection data; the NR is the actual document used to record the noncompliance. Memos are internal communications and not the formal record of noncompliance.
