Training on HACCP Implementation for Fisheries and Aquaculture – The Fisheries and Aquaculture Division, in collaboration with the Food Systems and Food Safety Divisions of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), will host an important training event on the implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems for fisheries and aquaculture. Scheduled to be held online from October 21 to 23, 2024, the training will also feature insights from Codex Secretariat experts and other technical specialists in the field of food safety.
Why HACCP Matters for Fisheries and Aquaculture
Implementing a robust HACCP system is vital to ensuring the safety of fisheries and aquaculture products. Understanding and identifying potential food safety hazards is the cornerstone of this system. The training aims to equip participants with essential knowledge that minimizes reliance on traditional end-product testing, thus fostering a preventive, rather than reactive, approach to food safety management in production and processing environments.
This three-day event will cover essential areas such as the identification of food safety hazards specific to the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. The training will also introduce key tools from the FAO, including Good Hygiene Practices (GHP) guidelines, HACCP resources, and Codex Alimentarius texts, which serve as international standards for food safety.
Key Highlights of the Training:
– Day 1: Overview of food safety hazards in fisheries and aquaculture products including Food safety hazards in fisheries and aquaculture and Prerequisites programme for HACCP
– Day 2: Practical guidance on establishing a prerequisite program (PRP) and implementing HACCP in the industry including HACCP implementation, HACCP tools, Codex guidance, and Codes of Practice
– Day 3: best practices for compliance with international standards including HACCP implementation For traditional fish processing Techniques, HACCP implementation In a fish farm, and HACCP Implementation In a vessel
This training will be especially valuable for professionals involved in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, including those working in production, processing, and regulatory bodies. It provides a practical, in-depth understanding of how to safeguard food quality and meet global safety standards.
