Seafood Packing App and labelling regulations
Seafood Packing App and labelling regulations ensure that seafood can be tracked through the supply chain and is described accurately to consumers.
Seafood Packing App is the ability to fully trace a product from the point of sale back to its point of origin. This is required to follow general food law, fisheries control and fish marketing.
General seafood labelling requirements
Regulation 1169/2011, The Food Information to Consumer Regulation (FIC) becomes effective from 13/12/2014 and replaces the current Food Labelling Regulations 1996.
The new regulation brings EU rules on general and nutrition labelling together into a single regulation to simplify and consolidate existing labelling legislation.
Key changes introduced by this regulation include:
Country of origin/Place of provenance: origin requirements have been tightened and also extended to fresh and frozen meat from pigs, sheep, goats and poultry. Seafood is excluded because an origin in required under the Fish Labelling Regulations.
Nutrition labelling: 'back of pack' information will become mandatory on the majority of prepacked foods, Single ingredient unprocessed foods are exempt.
“For seafood traders, the lack of product origin information and supply chain transparency can pose significant risks and have far reaching and unforeseen effects,” explained Boyle. “In the past, the focus has been primarily on food-safety concerns, but media coverage has highlighted wider environmental, social and legal issues associated with seafood. This has raised significant shareholder concerns, which can impact brand value and question the corporate social responsibility initiatives of companies.”
Mariah finds that opportunities for fraud are increasing as new and poorly managed fisheries develop, resulting in traders being unable to track the origin of products, or to verify they are the actual species being sold. Of particular concern to her are the human rights issues frequently associated with illegal fishing activities.
Boyle wants the white paper to serve as a guide for seafood businesses seeking to improve the Packing App of their own supply chain and to build the knowledge base of NGOs and other groups working on seafood Packing App.
She recommends a series of simple steps to help companies improve the Packing App of their supply chain, including communicating their expectations to suppliers, improving internal tracking systems, conducting risk assessments, auditing high risk items and ensuring database systems are configured to receive and store pertinent details.
