Typically, its easier to identify hazards if a food flow diagram or food flow description is created to illustrate food processing steps,
from receiving ingredients to shipment of finished products, and all major steps or actions.

Critical Limits List
Create a complete list that details the safety limit at which the process is still under control. In other
words, if the limit is exceeded, the process is not under control and action needs to be taken to regain
control.
Examples of critical safety limits for fish include:
Cold-holding temperature: 38 degrees Fahrenheit or less
Final cooking temperature: 145 degrees Fahrenheit or greater
Cooling parameters from 135 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit in 2 hours or less, and; from 70 degrees Fahrenheit
to 38 degrees Fahrenheit in 4 hours or less
Packaging labels for products have all ingredients listed and major allergens declared in proper format
Water phase-salt concentration in the fish product of 20 percent or greater (0.85 water activity or less)
Internal water activity of dried fish to 0.85 or less
Monitoring Procedures
Create a complete list that details the procedures and frequency used to monitor the critical points and
critical limits.
Examples of monitoring procedures for fish are:
Visually checking for shellstock tags every time shellstock is received from supplier
Visually inspecting a representative sample of each batch for correct package labeling
Checking brine salt concentration for each batch of product with salometer, and recording the concentration in a log
Visually checking thermometers in refrigeration units each day for air temperature of unit, and recording the results in a log
Using a calibrated thermometer to check the final internal product cooking temperature for each batch, and recording the
results in a log
Using a calibrated, automatic data-logging probe thermometer to record the cooling process for each batch of product, and
keeping a log of the results
Checking internal water activity of a product by testing each batch with a calibrated meter, and recording the results in a log
Verification Procedures
Create a complete list that details procedures used to verify action was taken to address the limits
exceedance.
Examples of verification procedures for fish are:
Daily records check by management of food processing logs, equipment calibration logs and data recording logs
Reassessment of entire HACCP plan
Daily review of product complaint log from consumers, carriers and vendors to determine whether the complaints relate to
Page 2 of 14
processes that are not in control (a consumer complaint or patterns of consumer complaints may indicate the need for a
recall)
Calibration of testing equipment used for processing food
Records
HACCP monitoring records must document the actual values and observations that were obtained
during the monitoring procedures.
The following list is required for fish processors that require a HACCP plan:
Name and location of the processor
Date and time of the activity
Signature or initials of the person performing the activity
Documentation of the value or observation shall be done at the time the activity was monitored
Identity of the product and production code shall be on the record when appropriate
If the product needs refrigeration , keep records at the processing facility for at least 1 year after the date of processing
If the product is frozen or is shelf-stable, keep records at the processing facility for at least 2 years after the date of processing
All records and plans shall be available for inspection purposes by authorized USFDA officials at reasonable times
Signing the plan means it has been accepted for implementation. Also, the plan shall be signed and dated whenever the following
applies:
Upon initial acceptance
Whenever the plan is modified
Whenever the plan is reassessed during the verification procedure
