The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released an updated Fourth Edition of its Guidance for Industry entitled, “Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Control Guidance, Fourth Edition – August 2019” (“the Seafood HACCP Guide”). The Seafood HACCP Guide is intended to assist processors of fish and fishery products in developing their Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plans. Technically, the Seafood HACCP Guide is not binding, but in practice, FDA will expect companies either to follow the Seafood HACCP Guide or to be able to support the appropriateness of deviations from the guidance.
