Provide The Fresh Product From the Local Fishermen Without Chemical
If you intend to import seafood, you must be careful in choosing suppliers and seafood products. Avoid purchasing seafood that’s not fresh because it could be contaminated with bacteria and other chemicals that pose a risk to the health and might cause poisoning. Because of this, you should consider how fresh the products are, where they come from and how it’s handled by the seafood suppliers.
International quality standards have been set, and therefore, your chosen seafood suppliers should abide by them, in order to guarantee the safety of imported fresh products. Let’s look at the following article to avoid getting poor-quality products and understand deeply how harmful the chemical contamination of seafood is!
What’s the Risk of Chemical Contamination?
High-quality protein, which is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle, can be found in seafood. The health of the body, especially the bones, muscles, and brain, can benefit greatly from regular seafood eating. However, poor-quality seafood products might harm the body, hence why it’s important to choose fresh products to avoid the risk of toxication caused by the products.
In order to meet the global market’s demand for fresh products, it is important for you to purchase fresh products that adhere to preset international quality standards. This quality standard is used to oversee all steps involved in seafood handling which include catching, handling, landing (unloading and transit), and distribution all around the world. If the seafood products don’t adhere to international quality standards, there’s a likelihood of an increase in harmful chemical content in the seafood products, such as histamine.
Histamine is a biogenic amine that is formed during the post-mortem stage by bacteria when free histidine amino acids are decarboxylated. Histamine-producing microbes like Morganella morganii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Hafnia alvei can contaminate seafood products and lead to decarboxylation reactions. Contamination of seafood products can occur starting from ships, unloading, processing sites, or when the distribution chain reaches consumers.
However, you don’t need to be concerned if you purchase fresh products that are handled carefully and correctly. If handled correctly by paying attention to environmental sanitation and consistently applying the principle of handling at low temperatures, contamination and bacterial activity in seafood products can be inhibited and, you’ll only get fresh products for your customers!
Indonesia’s Fresh Products Will Help Your Business to Thrive!
A system to prevent potential hazards during the processing of fresh products, namely by implementing HACCP Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), is adopted by Indonesian seafood suppliers in response to the realization that the regular quality control techniques for final products have not been able to provide quality assurance that processed seafood products from Indonesia are free from chemical contamination.
HACCP is a quality management system that places a focus on food safety, particularly for seafood. It is based on a holistic approach to predicting potential hazards during the production process and can pinpoint critical control points that must be continuously monitored. In this way, the fresh products from Indonesia may preserve its high quality and remain in high demand in the international seafood market.
