U.S. importers of seafood and juice products must verify that their foreign suppliers operate under an FDA-compliant HACCP system. This is a specialized FSVP requirement under 21 CFR 1.514 — distinct from the standard FSVP Plan. We build the verification plan covering supplier audits, records review, and ongoing monitoring.
What's Included:
Importer's verification plan per 21 CFR 1.514 (seafood) or 21 CFR 1.514 (juice)
Foreign supplier HACCP review and gap analysis
On-site or remote audit framework for supplier facilities
Records review and sampling protocols
Corrective-action procedures when supplier non-compliance is identified
Choose 1, 2, or 3 distinct seafood or juice products on this page
Who It's For:
U.S. importers of seafood (fresh, frozen, processed) or juice products sourced from foreign suppliers. This is a mandatory subset of FSVP for these two product categories — standard FSVP isn't sufficient on its own for seafood or juice.
FAQs:
Q: Why do seafood and juice have their own rule?
A: FDA promulgated HACCP rules for seafood (1995) and juice (2001) before FSVP existed. Those HACCP rules carry their own importer verification requirements that FSVP doesn't replace.
Q: Do I still need a regular FSVP Plan?
A: If you import only seafood or only juice, this plan satisfies your FSVP obligation for those products. If you import other food categories alongside, you'll need a separate FSVP Plan for those.
Q: Can my foreign supplier's HACCP plan substitute for this?
A: No — your supplier's HACCP plan is their compliance document. As the U.S. importer, you have a separate obligation to verify their compliance, which is what this plan documents.
