At SEAWORK a "Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points System" (HACCP), a food safety management system has been implemented since the company started. The system relies on a systematic approach to the identification and assessment of the hazards and risks associated with a food operation and the defining of the means of their control. It is a preventative system for ensuring the highest food safety possible, but is not a stand-alone system. It is built upon other programs such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) which are built into our food safety system. Our HACCP system undergoes a bi-annual audit from SABS (South African Bureau of Standardization, Cape Town) to ensure that the company conforms to the necessary criteria. A certificate on compliance, valid for the next six months is issued.
HACCP has been endorsed worldwide by organizations such as Codex Alimentarius (a commission of the United Nations), the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration), and the European Union and by several other countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
Our HACCP system assists us to comply with legislation and to fulfill customer requirements as well as supporting due diligence.
We focus mainly on quality which starts on board our vessels and is monitored right up to the end of a finished product. Since all of our processing is done by hand we ensure the best possible results on our products.
Furthermore our quality department has been audited and certified by an EU-sent commission, to prove its conformity with EU-Standards regarding importing regulations and legislature.
We do our best in order to always be ahead and up to date with international quality standards, legislation and regulations.
