Contact Us TodayHACCP work in Houston splits along the city's two food economies. Gulf seafood processors operate under FDA's mandatory Seafood HACCP regulation at 21 CFR 123, with plans built from the Fish and Fishery Products Hazards Guide and hazards like histamine and Vibrio front and centre. Meanwhile the city's manufacturers of tortillas, sauces, snacks, and prepared foods need HACCP-based systems to satisfy FSMA Preventive Controls and customer GFSI requirements. The two look superficially similar and are regulated completely differently — we build each to its own rulebook.
Whatever the FDA Hazards Guide identifies for your species and process — commonly scombrotoxin (histamine) formation in species like tuna and mahi, Vibrio in molluscan shellfish and raw-consumed products, environmental pathogens in ready-to-eat items, and time-temperature abuse through the receiving and processing chain. Each becomes a CCP or is justified out with documented reasoning; import receivers carry parallel verification duties.
No — a training certificate shows a person completed a course; compliance means your facility runs a written, validated plan with live monitoring and verification records. Regulators and auditors inspect the system, not the certificate. We deliver both: accredited-curriculum training for your team and the implemented plan behind it.
A systematic preventive approach to food safety hazards, required for federally-registered establishments and many GFSI schemes.
