Procedures for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Fish and Fishery Products

요약

The regulations mandate the application of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles to the processing of seafood.

FDA is issuing these regulations because a system of preventive controls is the most effective and efficient way to ensure that these products are safe.
