Hazards along the seafood production and processing supply chain
The public health risks posed by the consumption of seafood in Australia are affected by the production and processing practices along the entire supply chain of each commodity type.
This appendix summarises, for each broad commodity sector, data indicating the potential presence of food safety hazards and the significant points along the supply chain where there is the possibility of the introduction, increase, reduction or elimination of such hazards. As well as assisting in the evaluation of public health risks due to seafood consumption, the information in this appendix may be useful for the risk manager, helping to define critical points at which risk management strategies may be applied to greatest effect.
