Do HACCP plans and all sanitation and HACCP monitoring records held by importers as part of their verification program need to be in English?
Yes, part 123.l2(c) states that importer verification records must be maintained in English. 74.Do importer verification records (i.e., affirmative action step documents) need to be originals? For instance, the original HACCP plans or monitoring records received by importers may have been in a foreign language, and the importer may have had them translated into English; or, for the sake of timeliness, the monitoring records, HACCP plans, guarantee letters and certificates may be sent via fax. No, the verification records held by the importer need not be originals. However, the copies need to be accurate and legible and the Agency reserves the right to obtain the originals if necessary.
