INTRODUCTION<br />
This document has been developed by the <strong>Seafood</strong> <strong>Inspection</strong> <strong>Program</strong>, <strong>NOAA</strong> Fisheries, U.S. Department of<br />
Commerce (USDC). It is to be used as a reference for determining which fishery products have been produced in fish<br />
establishments approved by USDC. Only those processing establishments or vessels which have been sanitarily<br />
inspected, approved, and certified as being capable of producing safe, wholesome products in accordance with specific<br />
quality regulations promulgated by the USDC are listed.<br />
To provide the user with a ready reference, the establishments or vessels are divided into four categories:<br />
All establishments or vessels approved for sanitation and to produce inspected fishery products which<br />
may bear the official USDC <strong>Inspection</strong> and/or Grade Marks<br />
Establishments approved for sanitation and to produce animal feed products<br />
Establishments Contracting for Lot <strong>Inspection</strong><br />
Approved International Facilities<br />
The firms and vessels listed in this document, at their own expense, voluntarily contracted with USDC for inspection<br />
services. They have demonstrated their ability to meet rigid standards of sanitation and the capability to produce safe,<br />
wholesome fishery products. <strong>NOAA</strong> Fisheries does not infer that plants not appearing on this list fail to meet rigid<br />
hygienic standards. This list is a compilation of those firms participating in the National USDC <strong>Seafood</strong> <strong>Inspection</strong><br />
<strong>Program</strong>.<br />
Products that are officially inspected may bear USDC <strong>Inspection</strong> Marks, i.e., U.S. Grade A, and/or Processed Under<br />
Federal <strong>Inspection</strong> (PUFI). Financially interested parties may request certification on products bearing or not bearing<br />
marks which is a written report that certifies the type of inspection, class, grade, quality, size, quantity, or condition of<br />
products (including the compliance of product with applicable specifications).<br />
