Histamine and scombrotoxin HACCP controls
Histamine does not cook away. Preventing time-temperature abuse from harvest through processing is the control strategy. Receiving and cold storage are frequent CCP or control points.
Species at risk
Tuna, mahi-mahi, mackerel, and related species are commonly associated with scombrotoxin. Identify species in your product profile.
Receiving temperature programs
Check temperatures, sensory cues, and supplier histories at receiving. Record deviations and dispositions.
Build monitoring into the plan
Use HACCP Engine to draft receiving and storage CCP language tied to histamine risk for expert review.
Draft this with HACCP Engine
Answer a guided questionnaire, generate FDA-grounded hazard analysis and CCPs, then export worksheets for professional review.
