National Seafood <strong>HACCP</strong> Alliance for Training and Education<br />

National Seafood <strong>HACCP</strong> Alliance for Training and Education<br />

The National Seafood <strong>HACCP</strong> Alliance (SHA) provides a current, convenient<br />

and cost-effective education and training program to assist commercial and<br />

regulatory compliance with the prevailing requirements for product safety<br />

during processing and import of any seafood in the United States. The structure<br />

for the SHA program is based on collaboration among federal and state foodinspection<br />

officials, academic food safety researchers and educators, and<br />

various representatives from the seafood and aquaculture industry with<br />

commerce in the U.S. (Slide 1). The program is directed by a voluntary SHA<br />

Steering Committee. Any individual, company, agency or nation can participate<br />

in the SHA program through communications with the SHA Steering<br />

Committee. The SHA Steering Committee directs development of all training<br />

materials and courses, and the accompanying SHA Protocol.<br />

Certifications, Protocol and Records<br />

The SHA Protocol is maintained by the Association of Food and Drug Officials<br />

(http://www.AFDO.org). SHA Protocol are intended to maintain a uniform and<br />

standard training format based on qualified trainers, current training materials,<br />

approved courses, and course audits for both domestic and international<br />

audiences (Slide 2). AFDO records and issues all certificates for participants<br />

that complete an approved SHA course. Certificates are issued for SHA courses<br />

in ‘<strong>HACCP</strong>: Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Training’ and ‘Sanitation<br />

Control Procedures for Processing Fish and Fishery Products.’ The <strong>HACCP</strong> course<br />

is offered in both a formal classroom setting and through a self-guided Internet<br />

version that participants can complete online. To obtain an AFDO certificate<br />

of course completion, the Internet participants must later attend a one-day<br />

“Segment Two” session in person.<br />

iv<br />

The SHA training materials include the standard training manuals, model<br />

<strong>HACCP</strong> plans, the FDA Hazards Guide and Compendium of Fish and<br />

Fisheries Product, Processes, Hazards, and Controls. The <strong>HACCP</strong> models<br />

are for reference as example plans for processing and importation of various<br />

seafood products (Slide 3). Some of these materials have been translated for<br />

international audiences.
