HAACP & SAFETY

Commercial/Wholesale Division

Kyler Seafood strongly invests in our responsibility to produce a safe product. We are well aware that the end-user, the consumer, is our most important asset, and therefore, the safety of a "healthy product" ranks at the top on our chart of concerns.

Kyler Seafood maintains a strict food safety control system, as outlined and monitored under the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) program. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and supervised by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), HACCP is an inspection and safety program for seafood processors. Kyler personnel have been trained in the specific requirements of this operation and, likewise, faithfully implement all aspects of the program in order to insure that we meet the concerns of the regulators and consumers.
