FSIS Releases HACCP Validation Guidance…Industry Should Comment Or Be Prepared To Spend A Lot Of Money!

As you know, AAMP has been aware and concerned about the issue of HACCP validation since October, 2008. As you may recall, AAMP reported on the issue of HACCP validation in the October 1, 2008, edition of the AAMPlifier. At that time, the issue didn’t look very promising for the meat industry and that opinion hasn’t changed much since the release of the draft validation guidance. We have met with the Agency on a variety of occasions and communicated with fellow meat industry trade organizations regarding this issue as well. It was almost six months to the day that nine national meat trade associations met with officials of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) regarding the validation issue, expressed our concern, and hand-delivered a letter to the Agency regarding this issue. On March 19, 2010, FSIS dropped the bombshell by responding to the association letter and publishing draft guidance on HACCP system validation.
