Identify hazards across seafood categories
Evaluate species, source, intended use, processing, packaging, and storage. Consider histamine, parasites, pathogen growth and toxin formation, and hazards associated with smoked or reduced-oxygen packaged seafood.
Establish appropriate temperature management
Define receiving, processing, chilling, storage, and transport controls based on the hazards. Ensure measurement methods, monitoring frequency, limits, and deviation responses are documented.
Integrate seafood HACCP requirements
Where Part 123 applies, maintain seafood HACCP plans and implementation records that meet the regulation. Certification does not replace seafood-specific FDA obligations.
Strengthen sanitation prerequisite programs
Assess cleaning, food-contact surfaces, equipment condition, ice and water, cross-contamination prevention, personnel hygiene, and pest management.
Control suppliers and incoming materials
Establish risk-based supplier approval and review relevant species, origin, handling, hazard controls, specifications, and verification evidence.
Improve monitoring and corrective action
Ensure CCP and operational monitoring is completed as specified. Address affected product, correct the cause, and verify effectiveness.
Verify system performance through records and audits
Review HACCP records, sanitation monitoring, calibration, supplier performance, nonconformities, and management review outcomes.
