Why is HACCP important?

Federal government FSIS/USDA and FDA set up HACCP regulations on meat and poultry, seafood, juice, dairy and eggs, retail food and food services. Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA requires all meat and poultry establishments to comply with the regulation of 9 CFR Parts 304, 308, 310, 320, 327, 381, 416 and 417 which is titled as "Pathogen Reduction; Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) System; final rule."

The regulations require each establishment of the meat and poultry industry to develop written sanitation SOP's and to develop and implement HACCP systems. The FDA requires processors and importers of seafood to comply with the Federal Register Final Rule - 60 FR 665095 and regulation of CFR 21 Parts 123 and 1240. Fruit and vegetable juice industries are required by the FDA to comply the Federal Register Final Rule - 66 FR 6137 and the regulation of 21 CFR Part 120.
