    I think there is an MOU between the US and the Philippines sometime 1986 but
    I don't know if it's a HACCP MOU. I will try to find out.

    Chris, you are confusing the HACCP MOU with any other MOU or agreement
    between the US and other countries. As of today there are no MOU for HACCP
    as published in the 21 CFR part 123 but other agreements are in place such
    as Molluscan Shellfish and low-acid canned foods. Several countries
    (Canada, New Zealand, Chile, etc) have MOU for raw molluscan shellfish
    (www.issc.org).

     

    Hope this helps

    Dear All,

     

    My understanding was that no Memorandums of Understanding (MOU) exist for
    seafood currently with the FDA although several are in various stages of
    negotiation.

     

    At the same time I keep hearing that there is an MOU in place for Molluscan
    Shellfish with Canada, allowing importation of molluscan shellfish, if
    approved by the CFIA.

     

    Can anyone clear up this issue and if there is an MOU in place ideally
    provide documentation references?

     

    Appreciate the help.

     

    Regards,
