Does a subsequent processor need to ensure that a previous processor has actually controlled hazards in his product?
No, a subsequent processor need not verify that a previous processor is fulfilling the requirements of the regulation. It is FDA’s role to verify compliance. Some processors have chosen to obtain written guarantees of compliance from their suppliers. These letters are not required by the seafood HACCP regulation.
