14 Seafood premises and equipment
One submission suggested that all operations on fishing vessels should be required to have some form of CODEX/HACCP-based food safety programs in place.
This view is inconsistent with the Ministerial Council guidelines that are based on the principle that risk management strategies should be commensurate with the food safety risk posed.
It was also noted that the clause did not have any requirement to use equipment made from materials that will not contaminate seafood or that are fit for use.
It was agreed that the term ‘constructed’ implied that the equipment would be made from appropriate materials.
The Clause has also been amended to take into account that some equipment used in the primary production of seafood only need to be kept reasonably clean as appropriate for the working environment. This would be applicable to, for example, scallop trolleys, nets, growing racks.
