HAZARD ANALYSIS CRITICAL CONTROL POINTS
All the food products distributed by Fortune Fish & Gourmet are produced in adherence to the Code of Federal Regulations referred to as the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) regulations established by the Food and Drug Administration. Fortune Fish & Gourmet has developed and adheres to several rigorous HACCP plans to assure customer safety and to exceed U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations. In addition to our HAACP Plan, Fortune follows Good Manufacturing Practices and has written and executes Standard Sanitation Operating Procedures. Although not required, we believe these procedures are crucial to employ an effective HACCP plan.
