Alaska Statutes Title 17. Food and Drugs § 17.20.065. Seafood processing permits and plans of operation

(a) A person may not operate a seafood processing establishment or seafood processing vessel without a seafood processing permit issued by the department. A seafood processing permit issued under this section must be renewed annually.

(b) A person may not operate a seafood processing establishment or a seafood processing vessel without a written hazard analysis critical control point plan that explains the procedures used at each critical control point in the operation of the seafood processing establishment or the seafood processing vessel. The department may review, and comment on, the completeness of the hazard analysis critical control point plan prepared for a seafood processing establishment or a seafood processing vessel; however, the department may not require annual submission of the plan unless a change in operation, product, or process necessitates a change in the plan. In this subsection, “critical control point” means a point, step, or procedure in a food process at which control can be applied, and a food safety hazard can as a result be prevented, eliminated, or reduced to acceptable levels.
