Chapter 13 Sources of Information on Preparing HACCP Plans

Key Teaching Points 1. Describe how Chapter 13 is divided into two main parts (1. sources of information, and 2. how to use the FDA's "Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guidance") for conducting a hazard analysis and developing a HACCP plan. 2. Review the key sources of information. 3. Discuss how the Seafood Discussion Group Mailing List can provide assistance and guidance on seafood HACCP issues. 4. Explain how the Compendium of Fish and Fishery Processes, Hazards and Controls (http://seafood.ucdavis.edu/haccp/compend.htm) is a Seafood HACCP Alliance internet document designed to complement the FDAs Hazards and Controls Guidance and the HACCP training curriculum in developing a HACCP plan. 5. Note that the FDAs Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards and Controls Guidance, a primary tool for conducting a hazard analysis and developing a HACCP plan, is a non-binding source for identifying species and process related hazards in seafood . 6. Review the distinct features of the chapters and appendices of the Guidance. 7. Demonstrate how the steps in Chapter 2 of the Guidance can be followed to complete the hazard analysis and HACCP plan worksheets. 8. Remind the class that the HACCP plan needs to be signed and dated by either the most responsible individual onsite at the processing facility or by a higher level official of the processor. 9. Distribute blank hazard analysis and HACCP plan worksheets to the class. Based on the ABC Shrimp Co. example in the training curriculum, show how steps in the Guidance correspond to spaces and columns on the worksheets. If time permits, select a seafood product example and use the Guidance to review how to complete the forms. 10. Inform the class that in preparation for day three of the HACCP course their homework is to familiarize themselves with the steps in Chapter 2 of the Guidance for conducting a hazard analysis and developing a HACCP plan.

Teaching Aids Blank copies of the Hazard Analysis worksheet and HACCP plan form (to be used during the session on how to use the guide). Fish and Fisheries Products Hazards and Controls Guidance. If available, display samples of the publications mentioned in the curriculum and any additional relevant resources that will assist your participants in developing their HACCP plans. Post-its to help students quickly refer to various chapters in the training curriculum and the Guidance when reviewing the steps for conducting a Hazard Analysis and developing a HACCP plan.
