• National and International seafood safetystandards/guidelines should be met for a product to becertified
• Increased demand on safer food creates stringentcontrol on food safety and quality
• Control systems (principles of HACCP)monitoringinspectionverificationauditeducation
• Movement of fish commodities globally demand notonly on food safety, it spreads out to sustainability
• Sustainability involves responsible farming, traceabilityand eco-labelling
INSPECTION & CERTIFICATION FORFOOD SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY
![Page 4: Fish Inspection & Certification in the emerging domestic ...iafi.wildapricot.org/Resources/Documents/Fish Inspection... · control on food safety and quality • Control systems](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa12c237f8b9a8e178f028b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Fish inspections & certifications developed as aresult of market requirement
• With an obligation to protect the health of thecitizens, quality and hygienic regulations andlegislations are established
• Inspection agencies are supported by laws andregulations, with official control bodies
• HACCP-based inspection system (FAO, WHO)
HACCP principles – Codex Committee onFood Hygiene for Fisheries
based on the Codex Alimentarius – NationalCodex is developed
INITIATIVES IN FISH INSPECTION &CERTIFICATION
![Page 5: Fish Inspection & Certification in the emerging domestic ...iafi.wildapricot.org/Resources/Documents/Fish Inspection... · control on food safety and quality • Control systems](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa12c237f8b9a8e178f028b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Philippines and Indonesia agreed among theircontrol agencies to have modernization ofinspection & control systems towards single agency
• Presence of funding agency (WB, ADB, JICA, FAO,UNDP, etc) in assisting improvement of nationalprogrammes for fish inspection
• International standards are used as model in settingnational fish inspection standards
• Certification (sanitary, plant, hygiene, and healthcertificate) still focused on export products basedon the requirements of importing countries
• Adoption of third party certification for productsustainability (MSC, FoS, ISO certification, etc)
