Seafood under the Microscope – FDA HACCP Pathogen Risk and Testing

Seafood manufacturers, exporters, and importers face increasing pressure to demonstrate effective food safety controls while meeting evolving regulatory requirements. From pathogen hazards and environmental monitoring to supplier verification and documentation, building a compliant seafood safety program requires a risk-based approach.

Organised by Food Safety Magazine and Hygiena, join experts as they explore the FDA Seafood HACCP regulation (21 CFR Part 123) and the practical strategies seafood businesses can use to strengthen compliance, support import and export requirements, and reduce food safety risk.

This webinar will cover key pathogen hazards, including Vibrio spp., Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes, the role of PCR-based pathogen detection alongside traditional methods, and best practices for environmental monitoring, supplier verification, and audit readiness.

Whether you’re a seafood processor, importer, exporter, contract laboratory, or food safety professional, you’ll leave with practical insights to help strengthen your seafood safety program and support confident regulatory compliance.

Key Takeaways:
• Understand the key requirements of FDA Seafood HACCP (21 CFR Part 123) and their impact on seafood processors, importers, and exporters.
• Learn practical strategies to identify and control pathogen risks through effective HACCP planning, environmental monitoring, and PCR-based testing.
• Strengthen supplier verification, pre-shipment testing, and documentation to support regulatory compliance and global market access.
• Reduce the risk of recalls, border rejections, and compliance issues by building a more resilient and audit-ready seafood food safety program
