Seafood HACCP Alliance
The Association of Food and Drug Officials and the Seafood HACCP Alliance have developed a uniform and cost-effective AFDO/Alliance hazard analysis & critical control point (HACCP) training program for fish and fishery products. The primary purpose of the AFDO/Alliance HACCP Training Protocol is to assist the implementation of HACCP programs in commercial and regulatory settings.
Courses have been developed for training in basic HACCP programs and the related Sanitation Control Procedures (SCP); Train-the-Trainer courses are also offered. The primary audience is the seafood processing and importing industry, and regulatory officials based in the United States.

Basic Classroom Training
The Basic Training Course is designed for those persons working in the commercial and regulatory settings or related professions that can influence and/or involve seafood and/or aquacultured product safety. In keeping with the FDA HACCP mandate for fish and fishery products (21CFR Part 123) this course focuses on product processing which can relate to production, importing and additional commerce. Participants that attend the standard three-day course will receive a "Certificate of HACCP Completion". This certificate will be viewed in recognition of training to satisfy the FDA mandatory seafood HACCP regulations. Only courses registered through the AFDO/Alliance training program will be eligible for the AFDO Certificate for HACCP Course Completion.

Train-the-Trainer Course
The Seafood HACCP Alliance offers International Trainers Courses in Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), and Sanitation Control Procedures:
The trainer courses are open to qualified individuals with educational, professional and training experience in HACCP, or SCP. These courses are particularly helpful to regulatory agency personnel and international trainers who are involved with implementing HACCP, or SCP in order to meet the requirements of the United States Food and Drug Administration's regulation on the "Procedures for the Safe and Sanitary Processing and Importing of Fish and Fishery Products" (21 CFR Parts 123 and 1240).
A certificate of trainer course completion will be issued by the Association of Food and Drug Officials to participants in the trainer courses. This certificate will be recognized by both US state and federal authorities as evidence of special training in preparation to comply with the current US FDA HACCP regulations. Only courses that are registered through the AFDO/Alliance training program with "qualified" instructors will be eligible for the AFDO Certificate for HACCP or SCP Course Completion.
