Can you stage product in the production room while Pre-Op is going on with a USDA inspector present?
You might need to clarify for me - what I get from your message is that you want to know if you can bring in product while a pre-op is underway with a USDA inspector present? If that is the case - no.
If on the other hand you meant that your stage product was placed the day or evening before, is present, wrapped up and ready to go and then you have a pre-op done with a USDA inspector present - the answer is YES, but only if the stage product is sealed. There is a possibility of getting some flack on this from the USDA - they are not (like auditors) all the same mindset.
