Which establishments are required to have seafood HACCP?
In addition to being regulated under 21 CFR Part 110, Good Manufacturing Practices, wholesalers of seafood are also regulated under 21 CFR Part 123, Fish and Fishery Products. The term "fish" includes all fresh or saltwater fin fish, molluscan shellfish (see shellfish program for more information), crustaceans, and other forms of aquatic animal life.
 
Every processor must conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur for each kind of fish and fishery product processed by that processor and to identify the preventive measures that the processor can apply to control those hazards. Every processor must also have and implement a written hazard analysis of critical control points (HACCP) plan whenever a hazard analysis reveals one or more food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur. Additionally, each processor should have and implement written standard sanitation operating procedures
(SSOP´s). The SSOP´s must be monitored and monitoring records must be maintained by the firm.
