Each supplier must not only ensure that key management personnel are PQA Plus Certified but also require each production site to ensure that key management personnel that handle pigs are PQA Plus Certified.In addition, Walmart and SamвЂ™s Club will make the following NPB PQA Plus program requirements mandatory: Walmart and SamвЂ™s Club will work with suppliers to determine an acceptable level of required performance after a benchmark is determined based on the supplier information. Each supplier must make the documentation and results of the tracking and audit program available to Walmart as requested, but not less than twice annually.The supplier must retain records on the audit results, including the grade, corrective actions and PQA Plus certification number.

These audits will be done with 72 hours notice. These audits must be done by PQA Plus-certified personnel and must include annual audits and probable abuse audits.

Each fresh pork supplier must implement an internal annual animal welfare audit for all farms that includes a grading system and corrective action tracking.

Until all farms have video monitoring, an accredited and independent third-party will conduct annual on-site audits on farms without the technology.

This will result in 100% coverage by the end of 2018. Implementation of video monitoring on sow farms must be complete on 20% of production supplied to Walmart and SamвЂ™s Club on sow farms by the end of 2014, with another 20% of production added each year for the next 4 years.

Each fresh pork supplier must have on-farm video monitoring for sow farms and will be subject to unannounced animal welfare video audits by an accredited and independent third-party.

Specific new tracking and audit requirements include: Walmart and SamвЂ™s Club will continue to only accept fresh pork from animals raised under the standards of the National Pork BoardвЂ™s (NPBвЂ™s) Pork Quality Assurance (PQA) Plus Program.
