CatchLog Food Safety

What does food safety mean to fishers? Food Safety is making sure that the product that you catch and sell to the consumer is not only high quality but also safe to eat. In today’s competitive market, most buyers want assurances that the product they are buying is safe to eat. More and more, this means having a documented food safety plan that details the controls (the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How) that are in place aboard the vessel. CatchLog has developed a food safety manager to make it easy to setup your food safety plan and includes the additional requirements for an Approved Arrangement (AA) – the documented system of controls required to meet the requirements for export. CatchLog makes it simple for you or your Skipper to meet the documentation requirements for the Approved Arrangement and at the same time assist in monitoring the processes that will keep your product at the highest quality.

About CatchLog Food Safety

There is a “Setup Wizard” which will take you through each step required to setup your Approved Arrangement.

The set-up wizard will assist you in documenting: - Management Details including; company details, reporting structure, policies, crew responsibilities and training needs. - Hygiene Control Procedures including; cleaning, waste & pest control and temperature control procedures - Operational Procedures for Product Handling – based on a risk assessment of the products you process - Monitoring procedures for all routine tasks – i.e. monitoring freezer temperatures, product assessment and sampling - Internal audit procedures – to review the system and ensure it is working

How to record Daily Approved Arrangement Requirements! - The skipper enters his daily catch in CatchLog as normal. - The skipper will also be prompted with a list of the daily AA requirements to be monitored.

When all tasks listed are completed and checks are made – the details are recorded by either “Yes/No” choices or by entering information such as: - Daily Freezer Temperatures - Product Temperatures

The skipper will also be reminded of other requirements that may arise on a less frequent basis such as: - Checking the accuracy of temperature probes - Reviewing product sampling results

When both sections are complete – the skipper simply clicks the “Save” button and saves the information.

CatchLog provides a complete, detailed snapshot of each fishing season.

By completing tasks as prompted and recording the details - the skipper’s AA monitoring and recording requirements are met.

CatchLog will also continually monitor and update your Internal Audit requirements – tasks that ensure that daily monitoring is effective.
