Abstract: FDA's regulations in 21 CFR part 12 mandate the application of hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) principles to the processing of seafood. HACCP procedures yeild products that are known, with a high degree of confidence, to be free of the food safety hazards controlled b a processor's plan. Part 123 mandates recordkeeping related to seafood processing, sanitation control, and corrective actions, but the regulation does not require any reporting of this data to FDA or any other government agency. The HACCP records compiled and maintained by a seafood processor or importer primarily consist of the periodic observations recorded at selected monitoring points during processing and packaging operations. All respondents are business firms that process or import fish and fishery products for the U.S. market.
