Results show steady progress: FDA’s 1998-1999 HACCP Program evaluation documented that the HACCP program is being implemented by about 3600 U.S. seafood processors, most of which are small businesses, that collectively process over 350 species of fish. FDA’s evaluation reflected steady progress between 1998 and 1999 and showed that a significant majority of processors are doing well on most of the individual elements of the program. Over half have succeeded in all elements, a difficult standard to achieve.
