Certified Food Safety: HACCP and SQF Compliance

Our Commitment to Global Food Safety Standards

Food safety is our highest priority. Southern Cal Seafood operates under a rigorous, internationally recognized food safety management system, ensuring that every product we handle is safe, legal, and of the highest quality.

HACCP: Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point

Our entire operation, from the receiving dock to the final shipment, is built around the **HACCP** system. This proactive, preventative approach identifies and controls potential hazards throughout the production process, including biological, chemical, and physical risks.

• Critical Control Points (CCPs): Established at every stage where a hazard can be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to an acceptable level (e.g., temperature monitoring during freezing).
• Continuous Monitoring: We employ real-time monitoring and record-keeping to ensure all CCPs are consistently met.
• Verification: Regular internal and external audits verify the effectiveness of our HACCP plan.
