Abstract
  • High-level hygiene management for foods is highly required in Japan nowadays. In general, there are 5 stages in the flow of marine products; fishing, unloading, market, processing and distribution. Therefore it is important to take care the hygiene management at each stage of them. In this report, the most advanced case in Japan implemented in Shibetsu Town in Hokkaido prefecture is presented, where the local officials and workers at each stage are cooperatively making an effort to offer comprehensive hygiene management, "Regional HACCP". First, potential hazards included in the marine products were identified. Next, all kind of hazards at the each stage (from fishing to distribution) were listed from biological, chemical and physical point of view. As measures for hygiene management, following actions have been executed by cooperation of local officials and townspeople. 1) Making an manual for hygiene management at each stage. 2) Worker's health care. 3) Hygiene education for workers. 4) Environment protection activities as whole area (livestock waste. control etc). 5) Relocating the fishing port facilities for efficient utilization, which facilitate the preservation of freshness and minimize the risk of miss-including poison. Finally, a comprehensive hygiene management system was completed. This system has attracted great attention from all other areas in Japan.
