What the alert covers and why FDA issued it
FDA's wording, with FDA's change markers removed.
- Official title
- Detention Without Physical Examination of Fish and Fishery Products from Foreign Processors (Mfrs.) Not in Compliance with Seafood HACCP Regulation
- Product scope
- Fish and Fishery Products
- Last published
On December 18, 1997, 21 CFR Part 123 (generally referred to as the seafood HACCP regulation) became effective. Under this regulation, all fish and fishery products, whether foreign or domestic in origin, are required to be prepared, packed and held in facilities operating under mandatory HACCP requirements for safe and sanitary processing. Sanitation controls are to be included within the HACCP plan or monitored in accordance 21 CFR 123.11 (b) to comply with the 21 CFR 123.6 (f). Additionally, compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) in 21 CFR 117 is required by 21 CFR 123.5.
In accordance with 21 CFR 123.6 (g), failure of a processor of fish or fishery products to have and implement a HACCP plan that complies with this section or otherwise operate in accordance with the requirements of Part 123, renders the fish or fishery products adulterated within the meaning of section 402 (a)(4) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the Act), 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4).
Read the rest of the reason
Foreign processors who fail to meet the requirements of 21 CFR Part 123 may have entries subject to detention without physical examination until such time as such documentation demonstrating compliance is provided, as described in "GUIDANCE" section of this import alert.
FDA might determine the foreign processor's compliance through inspection of the foreign processor, a foreign remote regulatory assessment (FRRA), inspection of an importer, review of import entry records, or through review of an importer's seafood product reconditioning proposal.
Listing on an import alert is FDA's notice to the firm and a fact an importer must consider in its supplier evaluation under 21 CFR 1.505. What the red, green and yellow lists mean.
