REJECTED AND DEEMED UNFIT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. Supplier will not be paid for this milk as it has tested positive for antibiotics and is deemed to be in breach of ACM Food Safety Program (see 6.1 for details) and Milk Quality Standards (see Table 3.1). Milk collection will be suspended until a negative vat sample is obtained. Any subsequent positive vat samples taken during this process will not be paid for. When a negative sample is achieved, milk will then be scheduled for collection. In addition, Supplier will be held responsible for other costs and expenses incurred by ACM as a result of the positive screening, including but not limited to: − The total cost of all the milk in the tanker at the current value of the milk, including any other farmers milk; − Any additional Freight costs (eg, Farm to disposal site); and − Any applicable disposal costs – (eg, handling of this milk by EPA approved facilities). A Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI) Credit Note will be raised for the disposal cost and amount owing will be deducted from Supplier’s milk payment over a 3-month period (such period to be determined by ACM acting reasonably). In the case of a rejected Tanker, ACM is required to notify Dairy Food Safety Victoria of the residue detection within five business days of the initial detection with trace forward details (Part A Tanker). Trace back details (Part B Supplier) will be reported within ten business days of the incident. Supplier will be required to complete a CAR (Corrective Action Report) which is a requirement of ACM’s Food Safety Program. Refer to section 4.3 Management of Non‐Conformance ‐ Incident Report in the ACM Food Safety Program manual.
