Dear List,
I have couple of queries which I require your expert advise. We are a
Competent/Regulatory Authority involved in ensuring HACCP is applied on
fishing vessel and fish processing facilities as per the EU requirement.
My queries are;
1. Do we need to apply full HACCP on fishing vessels (Prawn
trawlers that process on board, tuna long liners that only gill & gut,
tuna purse seiners that only catch and store as frozen on board?, or
basic GMP/GHP is okay.
2. We have large tuna purse seine fishing vessels that do not use
cleaning/sanitization chemicals on board to clean food contact surfaces.
Their reason being they use seawater at high seas (> 12 nautical miles
which is free from harmful bacteria) to clean food contact surfaces and
certain that it is clean. Secondly they do not want to have problems
with chemical residue. Is this okay as per food safety is concern.
3. Please direct me to specific EU regulations on this matter.
Thank you and I look forward to your appropriate advises.
