RECOMMENDING
OFFICE: CFSAN/DOEP/Import Programs Branch, HFS-637
REASON FOR
ALERT: ** Fresh (Raw) or Fresh Frozen Shrimp:
In 1979, as a result of a high violation rate in Indian
shrimp (fresh (raw) or fresh frozen), an Import Alert was
issued placing all shrimp shippers from India on automatic
detention. In January 1980, a Certification Program was
agreed upon by FDA and the Indian government as an assurance
that more stringent testing and export controls would be
implemented by the Indian government for filth and
decomposition. A list of shippers exempt from automatic
detention for filth and decomposition (when accompanied by
certificates) was developed. These firms remained on
automatic detention for Salmonella. Review of the Indian
certificates since 1989 by New York District disclosed a
pattern of certificate alterations. This resulted in the
implementation of an intensive FDA audit and surveillance
sampling program demonstrating a high violation rate and
further undermining agency confidence in the Indian
Certification Program. Accordingly FDA repealed the
Certification Program in 1992.
Cooked Shrimp:
Between April and September 1994, 10 of 11 entries of cooked
shrimp from India sampled by FDA were detained because of
decomposition (91%). Between December 1993 and September
1994, 15 of 18 entries (83%) of Indian cooked shrimp that
were sampled by FDA were detained because of
decomposition.**
GUIDANCE: ** Districts may detain, without physical examination, all
fresh (raw), fresh frozen , and cooked shrimp from India,
except shipments from those firms listed as exempt on the
current attachments. Attachment A lists firms whose fresh
(raw), and fresh frozen shrimp are exempt from automatic
detention. Attachment B lists firms whose cooked shrimp are
exempt from automatic detention.
Fresh (raw), and fresh frozen shrimp should be detained for
filth, decomposition, and Salmonella. Cooked shrimp should
be detained for decomposition only.
Entries of shrimp:
1. Fresh (raw), and fresh frozen, should be tested for
filth, decomposition, and Salmonella by a private
laboratory.
2. Cooked shrimp should be tested for decomposition by a
private laboratory.
Note: The private laboratory should employ FDA methodology
as listed in the Import Seafood Products Compliance Program,
7303.844.
3. Should be audit sampled for filth, decomposition and
Salmonella as appropriate at a rate consistent with the
districts knowledge of the firm and private laboratory.
For any issues and/or questions regarding science, science
policy, sample collection, analysis, preparation, analytical
methodology or confirmation tests, contact the Division of
Field Science at (301) 827-7605.**
