Microbiological Rinse Technique: Basis for a New Quality Control Program

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: November 1995

Market expansion of the catfish industry is evidence that consumers trust the quality and wholesomeness of catfish products. Not only are processors marketing farm-raised catfish over a wider geographic area, they are developing new products to address specific consumer preferences. Consumers want to be assured about the wholesomeness of their foods, and at the same time, the catfish industry wants to continue expanding into new markets. Whether farm-raised catfish is purchased from a fish and seafood retail market, a grocery store meat and seafood counter, or ordered at a restaurant, in-plant microbiological monitoring will help to ensure that catfish consumers receive products that meet or exceed both public health and industry safety and quality specifications.
