Seafood HACCP

Personalized Training for Seafood Processors

As mandated by FDA, seafood processors must have personnel trained in Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) concepts.  Trained, qualified individuals must be able to properly conduct a hazard analysis and develop a HACCP plan for hazards that are considered  significant or high risk, as well as have sanitation programs in place with documented monitoring.  This AFDO (Association of Food and Drug Officials)  approved course provides attendees with the necessary training to properly utilize current HACCP resources, including the new FDA Seafood Hazards guide.

This course is taught by a qualified lead instructor approved by the Seafood HACCP Alliance and the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO).
