    Dear Members,
     
    I'm trying to answer an enquiry from a UK seafood exporter. The exporter
    wants to export a crustacean (Nephrops)-based product to the US. This is a
    frozen breaded product that requires cooking before eating.
     
    Is there a legal requirement for the product to be Listeria free? Are there
    any US microbiological criteria for Listeria or other pathogens in such a
    product?
     
    Regards,
    Ivan
