HACCP Training Workshops
• We recognized that it was in everyone’s best interest to train tribal fishers in HAACP
• Michigan Sea Grant coordinated 7 on reservation tribal workshops which trained 191 fish processors
• Three Indian Tribes have signed memorandums of understanding with the FDA to implement HACCP on their reservations
HACCP Implementation
• All major fish processing plants in Michigan now running under HACCP
• As a follow up Michigan Sea Grant Extension assisted these facilities in developing HACCP plans and record keeping systems
• HACCP has helped insure a safer product reaches the consumer
