Regulations governing the safe processing and importing of fish and fishery products were enacted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) in December, 1997. The regulations take a preventive approach to food safety. Biological, chemical and physical hazards are identified, then process controls are established to minimize the risk of food-borne illness. From this approach comes the acronym HACCP, which stands for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point.
