Seafood HACCP Alliance
The “Alliance” is a collaborative training program involving representation from three federal agencies (the Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture-CSREES, and U.S. Department of Commerce-Seafood Inspection Program),  all respective state agencies through the AFDO regional affiliates, the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference, and the seafood industry trade associations, National Fisheries Institute and Seafood Products Association. These programs are linked in a cooperative partnership with expertise and instructors from numerous academic, Extension Service and Sea Grant College programs across the nation. The collaborative working structure is known as the SHA Steering Committee by which any commercial, regulatory or food safety expertise can communicate interest and support.
