TECHNICAL STANDARDS DEVELOPED IMPROVE FROZEN CATFISH QUALITY

Vietnamese Government intends to set national technical standards before the end of the year to boost frozen pangasius fillet quality and comply with international regulations.
Update: (9/30/2016)


The announcement was made by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development(MARD), who has now asked related offices to finish a decree on standards instead of decree 36/2014/NĐ-CP on rearing and exporting tra fish products, Vietnam Newsreported.

The MARD explained that the standards will detail quality regulations, including rates of glazing and moisture, in order to strictly control the quality of frozen fish products in the future.

The General Department of Fishery, along with the National Agro, Forestry and Fisheries Quality Assurance Department (NAFIQAD), have taken responsibility to compile the new decree and will soon submit it to the ministry for Governmental approval.

Vietnamese Government authorities recognised that while tra fish producers and processors have focused on competition in price, they have not improved the tra fish product quality.

Therefore, the MARD has worked on solutions to promote control of food safety toward the export of seafood products, especially tra and basafish.

So far, it has issued Decision 3328/QĐ-BNN-QLCL to suspend granting seafood export certificates for products bound for the EU that were made in facilities that EU authorities warned of chemical and anti-biotic residues.

Besides, the ministry has issued Decision 2636/QĐ-BNN-QLCL on the inspection and granting of food safety certificates for siluriformes fish, including tra and basa fish exported to the US.

According to the decree, NAFIQAD would inspect, sample, test and grant food safety certificates for the siluriformes fish before exporting to the US.
