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 is a preventive system of hazard control designed to help ensure the safety of foods. The egulations were issued unde FDAs statutory authority to regulate food safety, including, section 402(a((1) and (a)(4) of the Federal Food & Drug Cosmetic Act ( 21 U.S.C.342(a)(1)and (a)(4). Certain povisions in part 123 require that processors and importers of seafood collect and record information. The HACCP records compiled and maintained by a seafood processor primarily consist of the periodic observations recorded at selected monitoring points during processing and packaging operations, as called for in a processor`s HACCP plan ( e.g., the values for processing times, temperature, acidity, etc., as observed at critical control points).
