Seafood HACCP training student information
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. Additional 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.
If you have any questions about the following training opportunities, please email us at haccp@afdo.org.

COMING SOON.
The proposed aquaculture course will act as an Add-on to the 1-day Segment Two course and will be optional but very beneficial for aquaculture processors and importers. The course will provide more detailed information on specific aquaculture topics that a processor or importer may need to know to control hazards associated with aquaculture fish and fishery products effectively. The participants will learn the fundamental differences between processing aquaculture versus wild-caught fish as well as the intricacies of the control strategies associated with aquaculture production.
Planned Course Time: 6-8 hours

Sanitation Control Procedures (SCP) course
The SCP course teaches participants about proper sanitation methods, preventing cross-contamination, proper handling of toxic compounds, protecting food from adulterants and pests, how to handle employee health issues, and proper hand washing techniques.
