The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) system of food safety control is

the wave of the future for food safety in the seafood industry. Both FDA and USDA have enacted laws mandating HACCP for seafood (FDA) and meat (USDA) . In addition, many international buyers require a working HACCP program as a prerequisite for becoming an accepted supplier.

The HACCP process consists of:

• Hazard analysis,
• Identifying Critical Control Points (CCP),
• Establishing critical limits for each CCP,
• Monitoring CCP requirements and using the data gathered to effectively control processes,
• Corrective Action,
• Record keeping,
• Verification.

Southeastern Fisheries Association offers a very unique style of HACCP training by teaching the FDA approved curriculum in the class environment; followed up by onsite visits as requested. After the training, SFA also serves as an advocate for its members keeping them constantly apprised of any changes or updates in government regulations.
