Curso sobre Procedimientos de Control Sanitario para el Procesamiento de Pescados y Mariscos

(SGR 122) (Spanish-language version of SGR 119). 2000. Esta guía es el manual de entrenamiento para el curso dictado con el propósito de asistir a la industria pesquera en el desarrollo e implementación de Procedimientos de Control Sanitarios como requeridos por la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos de Estados Unidos de América (US FDA). Estos mandatos requieren que los procesadores de productos pesqueros monitoreen los procedimientos de control sanitarios utilizados durante el proceso para documentar el cumplimiento con las prácticas y condiciones sanitarias aprobadas. Igualmente, los importadores de productos pesqueros deben verificar que los productos importados fueron procesados bajo los mismos requisitos HACCP de la US FDA que incluyen el monitoreo y registros de los procesos sanitarios.

Recientemente, la FDA ha actualizado las Buenas prácticas de manufactura vigentes o las BPM, como parte de una modernización más amplia de las normas de seguridad de los alimentos. Este

Required Training Models

The editorial committee of the Alliance has developed a number of extra Model HACCP Plans that can be used during the third day of the basic HACCP course or the Segment Two HACCP one-day course. These models are intended to help participants understand the basic principles of HACCP by going through the process of developing their own Hazard Analysis and HACCP plan using the FDA Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guide.

Seafood HACCP Video Series

The US Food and Drug Administration has developed a Seafood HACCP video series to help the seafood industry and federal and state regulators better understand specific concepts described in FDA’s Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guidance. The series consists of 6 videos:

  • Time-Temperature Indicators discusses using TTIs to control growth and toxin production by Clostridium botulinum in refrigerated, reduced-oxygen packaged seafood products. This video also includes discussions about the different types of C. botulinum, and controlling C. botulinum through the use of multiple barriers or freezing.
  • Time and Temperature Controls during Unrefrigerated Processing discusses how to control pathogen growth during unrefrigerated processing of raw ready-to-eat and cooked ready-to-eat seafood products. This video also includes discussions on evaluating time and temperature exposures during unrefrigerated processing and developing time-temperature profiles.
  • Secondary Processor Receiving and Storage Controls discusses receiving and storage controls for Secondary Processors to control scombrotoxin formation and pathogen growth in seafood products. This video also includes discussions on continuous temperature monitoring, and accuracy checks and calibration of temperature recording equipment.
  • Heat Process Validation discusses the general factors to consider when validating heat processes for seafood products. This video includes discussions on identifying the target pathogen, pathogen reduction, verifying pathogen reduction, and identifying the controls and critical limits to include in the HACCP plan to ensure a consistently safe product.
  • Primary Processor Scombrotoxin Controls – Overview and Testing at Receiving discusses the general strategies recommended by FDA for preventing scombrotoxin formation at the receiving critical control point. This video discusses how scombrotoxin is formed, the types of fish susceptible to scombrotoxin formation, monitoring internal temperatures, conducting sensory examinations, and histamine testing considerations.
  • Primary Processor Scombrotoxin Controls – Harvest Vessel Records discusses the Harvest Vessel Record control strategy recommended by FDA for preventing scombrotoxin formation at the receiving critical control point. This video discusses onboard chilling parameters for different harvest conditions, factors to consider when landing both live and dead fish, and the types of recorded observations, that when included on harvest vessel records, demonstrate that the fish were harvested, handled, and stored aboard the vessel in a manner that prevents scombrotoxin formation.

The videos are accessible at this link: http://www.fda.gov/Food/PopularTopics/ucm341987.htm

Additionally, FDA has remade a video produced which describes how histamine-susceptible species should be handled onboard a fishing vessel.

Seafood HACCP Video Series

The US Food and Drug Administration has developed a Seafood HACCP video series to help the seafood industry and federal and state regulators better understand specific concepts described in FDA’s Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guidance. The series consists of 6 videos:

  • Time-Temperature Indicators discusses using TTIs to control growth and toxin production by Clostridium botulinum in refrigerated, reduced-oxygen packaged seafood products. This video also includes discussions about the different types of C. botulinum, and controlling C. botulinum through the use of multiple barriers or freezing.
  • Time and Temperature Controls during Unrefrigerated Processing discusses how to control pathogen growth during unrefrigerated processing of raw ready-to-eat and cooked ready-to-eat seafood products. This video also includes discussions on evaluating time and temperature exposures during unrefrigerated processing and developing time-temperature profiles.
  • Secondary Processor Receiving and Storage Controls discusses receiving and storage controls for Secondary Processors to control scombrotoxin formation and pathogen growth in seafood products. This video also includes discussions on continuous temperature monitoring, and accuracy checks and calibration of temperature recording equipment.
  • Heat Process Validation discusses the general factors to consider when validating heat processes for seafood products. This video includes discussions on identifying the target pathogen, pathogen reduction, verifying pathogen reduction, and identifying the controls and critical limits to include in the HACCP plan to ensure a consistently safe product.
  • Primary Processor Scombrotoxin Controls – Overview and Testing at Receiving discusses the general strategies recommended by FDA for preventing scombrotoxin formation at the receiving critical control point. This video discusses how scombrotoxin is formed, the types of fish susceptible to scombrotoxin formation, monitoring internal temperatures, conducting sensory examinations, and histamine testing considerations.
  • Primary Processor Scombrotoxin Controls – Harvest Vessel Records discusses the Harvest Vessel Record control strategy recommended by FDA for preventing scombrotoxin formation at the receiving critical control point. This video discusses onboard chilling parameters for different harvest conditions, factors to consider when landing both live and dead fish, and the types of recorded observations, that when included on harvest vessel records, demonstrate that the fish were harvested, handled, and stored aboard the vessel in a manner that prevents scombrotoxin formation.

The videos are accessible at this link: http://www.fda.gov/Food/PopularTopics/ucm341987.htm

Additionally, FDA has remade a video produced which describes how histamine-susceptible species should be handled onboard a fishing vessel.

Sanitation Control Procedures for Processing Fish and Fishery Products

(SGR 119) First Edition, 2000. Developed by the National Seafood HACCP Alliance for Training and Education. This volume accompanies a course intended to assist the seafood industry in developing and implementing sanitation control procedures as mandated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These mandates require seafood processors to monitor sanitary control procedures used during processing in order to show their compliance with approved sanitary conditions and practices. Likewise, seafood importers must verify that the seafood imported was processed in accordance with the same FDA mandated HACCP requirements that include sanitation procedure monitoring and records. Also available in Spanish.

FDA has updated the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, or GMPs, as part of a broader modernization of food safety regulations. This one-page addendum provides adjustments in corresponding regulations. Download the SGR 119 addendum (PDF)

Seafood HACCP Video Series

The US Food and Drug Administration has developed a Seafood HACCP video series to help the seafood industry and federal and state regulators better understand specific concepts described in FDA’s Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guidance. The series consists of 6 videos:

  • Time-Temperature Indicators discusses using TTIs to control growth and toxin production by Clostridium botulinum in refrigerated, reduced-oxygen packaged seafood products. This video also includes discussions about the different types of C. botulinum, and controlling C. botulinum through the use of multiple barriers or freezing.
  • Time and Temperature Controls during Unrefrigerated Processing discusses how to control pathogen growth during unrefrigerated processing of raw ready-to-eat and cooked ready-to-eat seafood products. This video also includes discussions on evaluating time and temperature exposures during unrefrigerated processing and developing time-temperature profiles.
  • Secondary Processor Receiving and Storage Controls discusses receiving and storage controls for Secondary Processors to control scombrotoxin formation and pathogen growth in seafood products. This video also includes discussions on continuous temperature monitoring, and accuracy checks and calibration of temperature recording equipment.
  • Heat Process Validation discusses the general factors to consider when validating heat processes for seafood products. This video includes discussions on identifying the target pathogen, pathogen reduction, verifying pathogen reduction, and identifying the controls and critical limits to include in the HACCP plan to ensure a consistently safe product.
  • Primary Processor Scombrotoxin Controls – Overview and Testing at Receiving discusses the general strategies recommended by FDA for preventing scombrotoxin formation at the receiving critical control point. This video discusses how scombrotoxin is formed, the types of fish susceptible to scombrotoxin formation, monitoring internal temperatures, conducting sensory examinations, and histamine testing considerations.
  • Primary Processor Scombrotoxin Controls – Harvest Vessel Records discusses the Harvest Vessel Record control strategy recommended by FDA for preventing scombrotoxin formation at the receiving critical control point. This video discusses onboard chilling parameters for different harvest conditions, factors to consider when landing both live and dead fish, and the types of recorded observations, that when included on harvest vessel records, demonstrate that the fish were harvested, handled, and stored aboard the vessel in a manner that prevents scombrotoxin formation.

The videos are accessible at this link: http://www.fda.gov/Food/PopularTopics/ucm341987.htm

Additionally, FDA has remade a video produced which describes how histamine-susceptible species should be handled onboard a fishing vessel.

HACCP (pronounced HASS-ip), stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, and describes a preventative food safety system that is becoming the world standard for food safety. The Seafood HACCP Alliance is a nationwide network of processors, university researchers, and governmental agencies that assists the seafood processing and importing industry with the implementation of HACCP programs. The Seafood HACCP Alliance training program and materials are recognized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a companion training program to support the FDA Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Control Guidance (Florida Sea Grant publication no. SRG-129).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

HACCP Training and Education

In cooperation with the Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO), the Seafood HACCP Alliance has developed a uniform and cost-effective training program for importers, processors and distributors of fish and fishery products. The training assists with the implementation of HACCP programs in commercial and regulatory settings. AFDO maintains the formal protocol for all recognized training courses, a list of approved trainers and courses, and applications for courses (see AFDO Seafood HACCP page here). The training protocol assures standard training to suit FDA expectations that are recognized and recorded with certifications issued by AFDO.


Courses have been developed for training in basic HACCP programs and the related Sanitation Control Procedures. Train-the-Trainer courses are also offered. The audience for these programs are the seafood processing and importing industry, regulatory officials and extension agents based in the United States.

This volume accompanies a course intended to assist the seafood industry in developing and implementing sanitation control procedures as mandated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These mandates require seafood processors to monitor sanitary control procedures used during processing in order to show their compliance with approved sanitary conditions and practices. Likewise, seafood importers must verify that the seafood imported was processed in accordance with the same FDA mandated HACCP requirements that include sanitation procedure monitoring and records. Also available in Spanish.

FDA has updated the Current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, or GMPs, as part of a broader modernization of food safety regulations. This one-page addendum provides adjustments in corresponding regulations. Download the SGR 119 addendum (PDF)

Curso sobre Procedimientos de Control Sanitario para el Procesamiento de Pescados y Mariscos

(SGR 122) (Spanish-language version of SGR 119). 2000. Esta guía es el manual de entrenamiento para el curso dictado con el propósito de asistir a la industria pesquera en el desarrollo e implementación de Procedimientos de Control Sanitarios como requeridos por la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos de Estados Unidos de América (US FDA). Estos mandatos requieren que los procesadores de productos pesqueros monitoreen los procedimientos de control sanitarios utilizados durante el proceso para documentar el cumplimiento con las prácticas y condiciones sanitarias aprobadas. Igualmente, los importadores de productos pesqueros deben verificar que los productos importados fueron procesados bajo los mismos requisitos HACCP de la US FDA que incluyen el monitoreo y registros de los procesos sanitarios.

Recientemente, la FDA ha actualizado las Buenas prácticas de manufactura vigentes o las BPM, como parte de una modernización más amplia de las normas de seguridad de los alimentos. Este

Required Training Models

The editorial committee of the Alliance has developed a number of extra Model HACCP Plans that can be used during the third day of the basic HACCP course or the Segment Two HACCP one-day course. These models are intended to help participants understand the basic principles of HACCP by going through the process of developing their own Hazard Analysis and HACCP plan using the FDA Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guide.

Do you have suggestions for changes to these models? The National Seafood HACCP Alliance for Training and Education receives feedback at this link: Seafood HACCP Alliance – Models Feedback

Seafood HACCP Video Series

The US Food and Drug Administration has developed a Seafood HACCP video series to help the seafood industry and federal and state regulators better understand specific concepts described in FDA’s Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guidance. The series consists of 6 videos:

  • Time-Temperature Indicators discusses using TTIs to control growth and toxin production by Clostridium botulinum in refrigerated, reduced-oxygen packaged seafood products. This video also includes discussions about the different types of C. botulinum, and controlling C. botulinum through the use of multiple barriers or freezing.
  • Time and Temperature Controls during Unrefrigerated Processing discusses how to control pathogen growth during unrefrigerated processing of raw ready-to-eat and cooked ready-to-eat seafood products. This video also includes discussions on evaluating time and temperature exposures during unrefrigerated processing and developing time-temperature profiles.
  • Secondary Processor Receiving and Storage Controls discusses receiving and storage controls for Secondary Processors to control scombrotoxin formation and pathogen growth in seafood products. This video also includes discussions on continuous temperature monitoring, and accuracy checks and calibration of temperature recording equipment.
  • Heat Process Validation discusses the general factors to consider when validating heat processes for seafood products. This video includes discussions on identifying the target pathogen, pathogen reduction, verifying pathogen reduction, and identifying the controls and critical limits to include in the HACCP plan to ensure a consistently safe product.
  • Primary Processor Scombrotoxin Controls – Overview and Testing at Receiving discusses the general strategies recommended by FDA for preventing scombrotoxin formation at the receiving critical control point. This video discusses how scombrotoxin is formed, the types of fish susceptible to scombrotoxin formation, monitoring internal temperatures, conducting sensory examinations, and histamine testing considerations.
  • Primary Processor Scombrotoxin Controls – Harvest Vessel Records discusses the Harvest Vessel Record control strategy recommended by FDA for preventing scombrotoxin formation at the receiving critical control point. This video discusses onboard chilling parameters for different harvest conditions, factors to consider when landing both live and dead fish, and the types of recorded observations, that when included on harvest vessel records, demonstrate that the fish were harvested, handled, and stored aboard the vessel in a manner that prevents scombrotoxin formation.

The videos are accessible at this link: http://www.fda.gov/Food/PopularTopics/ucm341987.htm

Additionally, FDA has remade a video produced which describes how histamine-susceptible species should be handled onboard a fishing vessel.
