PLANT REGISTRATION PROGRAM
A) Review Procedures 1) Survey Requisites Section 14 of the FIR states that all processing of fish for export is to be carried out in a registered plant. Plants should not be permitted to process fish for export unless they are in possession of a valid Certification of Registration. NOTE 1: This excludes fisherman-packer operations (where a fisher man does his own dressing, packing or icing of fresh fish from his own catch). NOTE 2: Each plant will be reviewed on a management basis so that team surveys will not be carried out if the intention is not to register such a plant. Ability to monitor plant operations and maintenance of sanitation standards at field level are important factors that must be taken into consideration prior to registering any plants. Plants that will be assessed for registration include: a) all processing plants (other than whose which just ice and hold fish) where ownership of the fish changes hands, e.g. where fishermen deliver fish to a plant which takes the fish from the fisherman and the plant then exports the fish directly or delivers to the FFMC. This would include all delivery points and agents of the FFMC. It would not include fishermanpackers or plants that process fish for local sales only. b) those plants whose owners request registration, in writing to the District Office. - 2 -
Plants will be considered for team surveys if: a) District and local officers feel that the plant essentially complies to FIR, and that they are able to monitor plant operations and sanitation standards adequately, b) water and ice have been sampled and found to be satisfactory (or water is from an approved municipal source). Plants presently registered will be team surveyed in accordance with Plant Classifications. Fish plants with temporary registration certificates shall be
re~-eva l uated prior to the expiry date and wi 11 be team surveyed where extensive renovations have taken place, at District request or Regional request 2) J§!am Survey Procedures Team surveys were initiated to provide a uniform approach to the inspection of fish processing plants and the to implementation of corrective measures. Completed Fish Plant Report (FPR) forms and other reports from the field are used as sources of information for all plants. Any p1ant not team surveyed in a particular year remains subject to continuing vigilance by the local officer who will ensure that such p1ants are reviewed, on a yearly basis, for construction, equipment and operating requirements using the Fish Plant Report form. The team survey form is used in reassessing registered plants for continuance of registration and assessing unregistered plants where it is felt that those plants comply with the FIR and meet the requirements for assessment. Team surveys of fish processing plants will be carried out - 3 - by an inspection team composed of the local inspector and/or district representative and a regional office representative. The field officer will advise on local conditions, plant problems and concerns during the survey. It is also the officer's responsibility to check and ensure that the deficiencies noted during the survey have been corrected and to inform District office of plant progress. The District representative ensures that the local officers are being uniform in their approach during the survey; monitors p·lants in the district and recommends registration or withdrawal to Regional office. The Regional representative is responsible for maintaining a consistent approach to regulatory requirements and to the uniform correction of deficiencies throughout the Region. During the survey the Regional representative will complete the team survey form in conjunction with the district and/or local officers. Where on-site agreement is reached between team members, the Regional representative wi 11 ensure that the pl ant manager receives a copy of the defi ci ,ency list and corrective dates as well as sending a copy of the team survey and a sketch of the plant and equipment layout to the District office. Plant managers are to be advised of the survey intent and procedure prior to commencement of the survey. A team survey will record all plant construction and operational deficiencies as well as noting equipment present, flow of operations and any other details which might be relevant to the decision to issue a registration certificate (e.g. chemical compounds used as disinfectants or pesticides should be included). - 4 -
NOTE: Team surveys should be conducted when plants are processing so that operational deficiencies can be recorded. They should be completed as near to the start of the operating season as possible to permit registration to be granted where necessary. Team surveys in a particular area will commence only when the plants are known to be operating since the survey may take considerable time and attention as documentation of construction, equipment, and operational deficiencies must be accurate. It is essential that all deficiencies be noted and recorded so that overlooked deficiencies are not "discovered" at a later date. The observations of team survey personnel are recorded on the Team Survey Form (see Figure 1). Photographs are an integral part of the team survey and follow-up inspections and should be taken of the plant exterior and interior, including the basic processing area, equipment, processing activities and specific deficiencies observed. Photos are labelled to correspond to a diagramatic sketch of the plant in order to show plant layout flow of production and operations. The deficiencies recorded by the team will be discussed among the members prior to any discussions with management or plant owners. Agreement on the nature of deficiencies, suitable methods and suggested deadlines for their correction will be settled among team members. Where agreement is not reached, the discussion between the team members should be continued away from the plant until settlement is reached. The plant manager should be informed that the deficiency list will be sent out to him and that he is to comply with the correction deadlines. (Items agreed upon by a 11 team representatives are discussed with him before the team departs.) - 5 ..
The advantages to leaving a copy of the deficiency list with the plant manager are as follows: - The local inspection and/or District officer has time to read over the deficiency list before discussing the 'list with the plant manager. - It prevents discrepancies due to rewriting of the list whereby the original meaning may be inadvertently changed. - There is the opportunity to discuss the list with the plant manager while all the inspectors are present. - The plant manager has the opportunity to question any wording, phrasing or deficiencies at the time. - Specific deficiencies can actually be pointed out to the manager to avoid misinterpretation. - No new deficiencies are discovered that are written to the plant manager which were not mentioned to him while discussing the deficiency list. - Most important is the time factor. The plant manager already has the list and can begin corrections immect·iately. Major deficiencies are those items which are more conspicuous in effecting product contamination. They generally are not ab.le to be corrected within 30 days. Examples of major deficiencies include: Schedule I - Section 1 - floor cracks (that prevent proper cleaning) in working area floor surfaces Section 3 - drains of insufficient capacity Section 4 - wall cracks Section 5 - inadequate ventilation where humidity and odour pose an obvious problem - 6 -
Section 8 - no handwash or hand dip facilities Section 9 - unsafe, unsanitary water Section 11 - surfaces of porous material Section 16 - cracked, chipped ceilings with open joints NOTE: Suspected structural defects should immediately be brought to the attention of the plant owner/manager and reported to the District Manager for consultation with the Regional Inspection Engineer. Minor deficiencies can generally be corrected within 30 days. ·All unsanitary operating practices may be major in effect, but can be considered as minor for survey purposes where the deficiencies can be corrected immediately. Operational deficiencies (e.g. packer using unsanitary gloves) causing product contamination or deterioration must be corrected immediately. Operational deficiencies which are not of an urgent nature (such as insufficient lighting over a process area) generally require correction within 30 days. Deficiencies resulting in hazardous conditions to personnel, e.g. unsafe wiring and suspected structural defects, should immediately be reported to Regional Headquarters and plant management. Construction deficiencies should be corrected prior to commencement of a particular fishing season and their correction deadlines should be set prior to season commencement. Monitoring the correction of these deficiencies ?hould be similarly geared to the fishing seasons. Construction or equipment deficiencies that are causing product contamination or deterioration should not be allowed. - 7 -
A deficiency list will be sent to the District office from
Regional Headquarters. The District office will forward a copy to the
plant owner (if different than the plant manager) and to the local
inspector. A copy of the complete Team Survey Form incl ing a sketch
of the plant will be sent from Regional to District office.
If the survey team is in agreement that the plant being
surveyed complies in all respects to regulatory requirements or that
the deficiencies that exist do not constitute a product contamination
hazard under satisfactory operation conditions, the Regional
representative wi 11 then make a recommendation for regi strati on to
Regional management.
Recommendation for registration from the District lev1e·1 are
to be submitted to Regional Headquarters and the following should be
included in their reports:
- Team survey with photographs showing deficient items as well as
general pictures of plant.
- A11 deficient items to be noted on survey forms. Those items that
are corrected before the survey teams leaves the plant are to be
duly noted as being corrected on the team survey form.
- Follow-up inspection showing corrected deficiencies as were recorded
on the team survey.
- Satisfactory water and ice bacteriological dates (from reports
sent to R.H.Q.)
Regional Headquarters will forward certificates to Districts
for mounting, framing, and distribution. Certificates of Registration
will be mounted in a durable frame and are to be accompanied by a
letter from District office with information pertaining to whether Government of Canada Gouvernement du Canada I+ Rsheries and Oceans Peches et Oceans CERTIFICATE CERTIFICAT OF REGISTRATION D'ENREGISTREMENT TYPE OF OPERATION REGISTRATION No. Genre d'exploltation

they are continuing or temporary and that they must be displayed in a prominent location within the plant. B) Continuing Certificates of Registration (no expiry date) Continuing certificates are permanent provided that the plant maintains acceptable standards of operation, corrects any deficiencies noted within agreed time frames, and keeps the plant and equipment in satisfactory repair. NOTE: Assessing priorities for the completion of team surv,eys of processing plants will be based upon the plant classification list. In addition, the following criteria can be used to assist Districts in final survey priorities: - plants that are operating should be team surveyed before plants that are not yet in operation, - plants that are FFMC agents or delivery points or those that export directly should be team surveyed before other plants, - existing plants with expired temporary registration certificates should be team surveyed as soon as possible to determine their suitability to continue to process for export. - new plants will be team surveyed following District s recommendation for registration. Any registered plant not team surveyed in a particular year is to be formally reviewed by the local officer using the Fish Plant Report Form. C) Temporary Certificates of Registration (with expiry date) Temporary certificates are generally issued to new plants requiring registration if numerous deficiencies exist and they cannot comply fully to FIR but through exemptions or other circumstances, they are permitted to operate. Certificates are also issued to plants undergoing extensive - 10 - renovations. Temporary certificates provide a reason for closer checks to be made on these plants to ensure satisfactory compliance within correction deadlines. They will have a maximum effective duration of 12 months and will not be extended except under highly unusual circumstances and with the approval of Regional Headquarters. An extension can be granted in writing by District office upon consultation with Regional office. If extensions are granted and comp.liance is still not met, temporary registration will be withdrawn and correspondence forwarded by R.H.Q. to the FFMC agent or head office, where appl-icable, indicating that the plant does not meet registration requirements and that products from the plant will not be permitted for i nter-provi nci al or export markets. Wh1en temporary Certificates of Registration are issued they will be accompanied by a letter from District office explaining the significance of the term "temporary" and outlining the deficiencies and correction deadlines.
On the Certificate of Registration the words 11 expiry date" with an appropriate date will be typed in the space located beneath the words "Location of Establishment". A temporary certificate's expiry date will be one month later than the deadline given to the plant for deficiencies correction date to allow sufficient time for follow-up surveys and recommendations to be sent from District office to Regional office to issue a continuing certificate where warranted. A letter from District office (copy to Regional Headquarters) stating that a certificate will no longer be valid as of the expiry date is to go to each olant one month prior to that date. This letter is to explain to the plant operators that all fish destined for the export market must be processed in a registered plant. A request should be made to the plant operators to - 11 -
(upon expiry) remove the certificate from display and send it to the District office or to give it to the local inspector at such time when ey are in the area. If a plant has been team surveyed and issued a temporary certificate to allow elimination of existing deficiencies, no further team survey is required, unless major renovations have taken place or it is request by the districts. A follow-up survey by the District office will be conducted using the Fish Plant Report form. The next team survey will be as per the plaint classification list. The survey form, along with water and ice bacteriological report and photos is to be sent in to the Regional office as per established procedures.
D) Fo 11 ow-up Plants should be followed up within one month prior to correction deadlines. Failure to effect deficiency corrections as documented by the local officer within agreed-upon t·ime frames will be cause for issuing a warning from District office. If, after required visits, meeting th plant management and documentation has taken place and compliance is still not met, Reaional office is to be informed and a warning, via a registered letter from the District, is to be sent to the plant (cc to Regional office). If this warning is not heeded, as documented by the local officer, the District office may recommend withdrawal of registration to Regional Headquarters who may take action to inform the plant that their Certificate of Registration has been withdrawn and they can no longer process fish for export (copy to District office). If the plant is an FFMC agent, the FFMC head office ll also receive registered correspondence informing them of the withdrawal. Local officers will contact their District Managers to determine what action is to be taken when withdrawal of registration is being contemplated. - 12 -
E} Refusal of Certificates of Registration If numerous and extensive construction and/or operational deficiencies exist, registration may be withdrawn for plants with registered status or withheld from plants seeking new registration. Registration should be withdrawn or withheld when deficiencies exist and are accompanied by a refusal from plant management to correct them. Withdrawal of a registration certificate requires written authorization from Regional Headquarters. Necessity for plant action due to non-compliance to the FIR results when: 1) A plant has structurally deteriorated 1 over the years and does not meet construction requirements, and/or 2) a plant develops a santiation problem that may effect product quality. If a plant is operating under unsanitary conditions which may lead to product contamination 2 then the local officer should react immediately to ensure that the situation does not continue. If necessary, the processing of fish is to be temporarily disr~pted and product put under detention until the operation is cleaned up. Photos are to be taken accordingly. District and Regional office should be contacted immediately after full documentation of the situation has been made, e.g. photographs and completion of a plant inspection form.
If there is any concern that the product may be contaminated then the lot should be placed under detention and samples drawn and analysed immediately. The lot may be shipped to FFMC, Winnipeg under detention to have samples taken and tests carried out by the Department.
Deterioration in construction that may render the plant unsafe to work in or an unsanitary environment to process fish in. 2 The possible rendering of product as unfit for human consumption as defined by the FIR as tainted, unwholesome or decomposed. - 13 -
Local conditions are factors that influence whether the plant process for export and/or ship under detention. Conditions such as the economic situation, proximity of other fish processing agencies, number of fishermen, etc. should be considered. These factors must be discussed at local, district, regional and industry levels to obtain a mutual satisfactory solution.
If gross unsanitary conditions (i.e. conditions resulting in obvious product contamination) exist, provincial public health officials, conservation officers and the FFMC should be contacted through consultation Regional Headquarters. Complementary provincial legislation may assist eld officers in dealing with this type of occurrence. Each situation is to considered unique and will be evaluated accordingly. If the unsatisfactory plant is in close proximity and easily accessible to a federally registered ant, tne fishermen should be directed to the registered plant until proper ean-up of the unsanitary plant has taken place. However, if this is not possi e, then detained product should be allowed shipment to FFMC, Winnipeg and samples taken for inspection. If regi strati on is withdrawn and the operator continues process for export, advice should be obtained from the District Manager as to tne course of action.
The District Manager will contact Regional Headquarters for advice on product and plant action. Legal prosecution, when applica e, will be initiated by Regional Headquarters.
Certificates of Registration will also be withdrawn en of following conditions occur: - 14 -
a) plant is sold, has ownership transferred or has name changed under present ownership. (NOTE: In such cases, re-registration will
follow normal proced~res as quickly as possible so that normal plant operations are not unduly delayed.) b) plant ceases operation for more than one calendar year or plant has indicated it is permanently closing. If it is not possible to remove the certificate (due to plant being padlocked, destroyed or ·inaccessible, etc.), a registered letter is to be mailed from District off·ice to the plant owner (copy to Regional Headquarters) stating that registration has been withdrawn and the Certificate of Registration is to be returned to the District office. The letter should also state that processing fish for export ii s not a 11 owed in an unregistered establishment and that if re-registration is considered at some future date, a survey will be required under standard registration procedures. The local officer should arrange to remove an invalid certificate at first opportunity. F) Re-issuance of Certificates of Registration Issuance of a plant registration following withdrawal will require a team surve_y, compliance with FIR at that time, and unanimous recommendation by the survey team to Regional Headquarters. (Name changes may not necessarily require a team survey where ownership has not changed and the pl ant still meets registration requirements.) Pl ants which are not up to standards for re-issuance of a temporary or continuing certificate will be considered as unregistered plants and will not be allowed to process fish for export. G) Plant Classifications A systematic program which provides a constant check on plant construction, equipment and operating requirements is essential to the - 15 -
monitoring of plant sanitation, employee hygiene, operating conditions and equipment performance.
/I. classification system which lists "good", "fair" and "poor" plants will assist the field inspector in his efforts to monitor continually changing p1 ant conditions and thereby concentrate his activities on non-compliance items in poor plants. Team surveys and Fi sh Pl ant Reports wi 11 be carried out on a 1ess frequent basis in good plants while more inspection effort will be required on poor plants. Districts must be constantly alert for any change in good or fair plants which might result in a change of classification because of non-compliance items. Classification lists will be used by Regional and District offices to determine and initiate action for problem plants. Discussions will be held, when appropriate, with other federal and provincial agencies and with industry to selectively choose those plants which require repair, renovation or replacement. Plants with C classification are to receive priority in inspection surveillance and up-grading procedures. Plant classifications will be found on the plant classification list
(Registered plants - Table 1, and Unregistered Plants - Table 2.) H) Registered Plants Classification Criteria The procedures to be followed ln determining Plant classifications are as follows: Classification A Information from previous surveys and pl ant report data indicates no major and few minor deficiencies which can be corrected within 30 days and which do not create any hazards to products or personnel. - 16 -
There are no structural or construction faults which would be considered to be incompatible with other federal or provincial regulatory agency requirements. There are no outstanding deficiencies which have not been rectified by management past mutually agreed upon dates of correction. Plants in this classification should be team surveyed at least once every three years. Fish Plant Reports are required on all plant/product inspections and data continually reviewed to ensure changes in deficiencies are reflected, where necessary, by change in plant classiification. Continuing Certificates of Registration should be issued for plants in this classification. Classification B Plants in this classification have major and numerous and extensive minor deficiencies. Major deficiencies which are present may lead to product contamination. There are no structural faults which would be considered to be incompatible with other federal or provincial regulatory agency requirements. There may be outstanding deficiencies which have not been rectified within mutually agreed upon dates of correction because of numerous deficiencies and delays in receiving materials and supplies. Plants in this classification should be team surveyed at least once ever:y two years. Fish Plant Reports are required to ensure follow-up on deficiency corrections by mutually established correction dates. - 17 -
Classification C
Plants in this classification have major and minor
deficiencies which may create an unsanitary processing environment and
potentially hazardous conditions to plant personnel. Extensive 1N"ork is
required over extended periods of time and/or complete facili
replacement has been recommended.
There may be structural or construction faults considered to
be incompatible with other federal or provincial regulatory agency
requirements.
Such plants are considered as unsatisfactory processing
environments for products intended for human consumption.
Plants in this classification should be team surveyed every
year and Fish Plant Reports are to be used to monitor conditions on a
continuous basis.
Certifications of Registration will not be issued for plants
in this classification. Regional Headquarters is to be notified of
registered plants considered to be a "C" classification and steps will be
taken to remove the registration certificate where corrections have not
been made.
Normally, such plants should not be permitted to operate past
the year in which "C" classification has been designated. Consultation
with other federal and provincial agencies and industry should commence as
quickly as possible. Regional Headquarters must be involved in such
discussions and any resulting actions.
If the "C" classified plant is an agent of the Corporation,
Regional headquarters will irrmedi ately notify the FFMC to arrang1e for
meetings to deal with Inspection requirements. - 18 -
The main emphasis in dealing with "C" plants should be to upgrade and improve the facilities. Closure should be a last recourse and only after sufficient discussions with plant operators, notification of the intent to shut down operations and documentation of the deficiencies have taken place. (See procedures under E - Refusal of Certificates of Registrations.)

1) Unregistered Plants A large number of locations exist in the Western Region where fish is either packed, dressed, iced, and/or held awaiting transportation to registered fish packing or processing plants. A large number of these locations can be considered to be small-volume operations located in isolated areas not accessible by standard transportation on a regular basis. Such operations have been previously identified as "lakeside packers", "open-air sites", or "lakeside assemblies". The concerns with these types of operations are: - lack of adequate dressing (where applicable) and holding areas, - lack of approved sanitary procedures, - fish remain unprocessed and unprotected while awaiting irregular transportation. The result is that there is no provision for quality control at these lakeside locations. Since the maintenance of high quality products commences with harvesting and proceeds through to handling, packing/processing and storage, it is necessary that all lakeside locations be surveyed to determine operating conditions. Every lakeside facility should be inspected by the local officer at least once every year using the Fi sh Plant Report (Figure 2) and every "open air site" as prescribed by Q.I.P. landing site surveys. Unregistered plant classification listing (Table 2) will be used to assist field inspection officers in monitoring all such facilities. The department should work towards continually improving such pl ant facilities and operating procedures. - 36 -
1) Unregistered Plants Classification Criteria The procedures to be followed in determining facility classifications are as follows: Classification A Information from previous plant inspection report data indicates no major and few minor deficiencies which can be corrected within 30 days and which do not create unsafe conditions for product or personnel. There are no structural or construction faults and there are no outstanding deficiencies which have not been rectified in past mutually agree upon dates of correction. Plants in this classification should be inspected for deficiencies, using plant inspection forms, at least once per year and follow--up insPections are required on a continuous basis. Such plants can be considered to be one step removed from meeting registration requirements and products from such plants can be considered to be processed in a safe and sanitary environment. Classification B Plants in this classification have major and numerous and extensive minor deficiencies. Major deficiencies which are present may lead to product contamination. There are no structural faults. There may be outstanding deficiencies which have not been rectified past mutually agreed upon dates for correction, but which do not contribute to product contamination. Plants in this classification should be inspected, for deficiencies, using plant inspection forms, at least twice per year and follow-up inspections are required on a continuous basis. - 37 -
Such plants are considered suitable for processing products intended for the export market only if plant management has attempted to correct deficiencies and any delays in doing so are beyond management control, and in the opinion of the local officer, fish ca.n be produced in a safe and sanHary processing environment. Normally such plants should not be permitted to maintain a "B" classification past the year in which it was designated. "B" classification should be maintained only on a seasonal basis so as to promote correction of deficiencies during off-season periods. Classification C
Plants in this classificatfon have ma~jor and minor deficiencies which create unsafe conditions for product and personnel. Extensive work is required over extended periods of time and/or complete facility replacement has been recommended. There may be structural or construction faults which would be incompatible with requirements of other federal or provincial agencies. Such plants are not considered suitable for processing products intended for the export market and termination of plant operation may be initiated through provincial Fisheries personnel, following consultation with Regional Headquarters. Proposed Establishment Rating System (National) At the October/82 National Inspection Policy Committee meeting in Ottawa it was decided that the proposed plant rating system which had undergone two test phases and a third, revised rating form will undergo some additional testing in the field. - 38 -
The system to date incorporates four catagory ratings for registered plants, (A,B,C, or D) depending on the number of deficiencies of each of the four deficiency catagories (minor, major, serious and critical) present after the survey. The system should be in place by June, 1984. (!j z: ...... 1- ...... (/') _J z: 0 ...... l e::( u ...... LL...... (/') (/') c::( _J u

Where an officer is in a plant several times or continuously during one day and the inspection is ongoing, that shall be considered as one inspection and be recorded on the FPR as such for that day. Whenever a plant is visited for the purpose of sampling a product, or water and ice, or for any reason other thain for a plant survey or plant inspection, the inspectors should also check plant operations (ie. complete an inspection and fill out the FPR form accordingly). Where no inspection is done, the visit to the plant should not be considered as an inspection and erefore, not recorded on the form. One form is to be used for each inspection or survey. After completion, the copies should be distributed as follows: 1) Original (white) to be sent to the Reqional Office. 2) 1st copy (canary yellow) to be given to the Plant Manager. 3) 2nd copy (pink) to be sent to the District Office. 4) 3rd copy (golden rod) to be retained by the inspecitng officer. The information recorded on these forms is to be sent in to District and Regional Office as soon as possible after completion to permit les to be kept updated and plant progress to be continually monitored. All forms for a particular month should be received by Regional Office by the end of the first week of the following month. The information will also be used for MIS monthly summaries of Plant Services Activities. Level Action codes based on the following definitions will be assigned to the inspections and surveys: -· 90 - For Team Surveys: LEVEL II ACTIONS: Surveys of plants resulting in requests to carry out modifications but not resulting in refusals to issue certificates or in cancellations of certificates. LEVEL III ACTIONS: Surveys of plants resulting in refusals to certify the plant or in cancellations of certificates. For Inspections: LEVEL II ACTIONS - PLANT: Each plant inspection resulting in any action which does not result in closure of the plant, discontinuation of operation or prevention of product form reaching the consumer will be reported as a Level II action. For example: Instructions to remove unniecessary equipment being stored in a working area. LEVEL III ACTIONS - PLANT: Any plant inspection resulting in a discontinuation of operations or a closure of the plant to prevent product produced under the operating conditions noted from reaching the consumer. For example: Stopping the production of fish sticks until a plant clean-up has been carried out. - 91 ·- Fish Plant Report (FPR) forms are to be completed as fo'llows: 1.

These sections are presently contained in the FIR, the Handbook of compliance and the national Fish Inspector's Procedural Manual. The minimum compliance standard charts summarize the sections of the FIR and contain only those sections applicable to fish processing plants in the Region. - The compliance section attempts to more explicitly outline the minimum requirements of FIR to be met by plant operators in order for registration to be issued or maintained. - - - - 95 - MINIMUM COMPLIANCE STANDARDS FOR FISH INSPECTION REGULATIONS (FIR) PART 1 GENERAL F.I.R .. Section# F.I.R. Summary 3 FIR apply only in respect of fish and containers intended for export or import. 4 All fish are subject to inspection and an inspector m~ take samples free for inspection. 5 The owner of fish shall make it accessible for inspection to an inspector. 7 Unless otherwise permitted by the Minister. fish shall be packed fo new, clean, sound containers. (1) No person shall export, process or attempt to, for export, fish unless all processing of that fish was carried out in a registered establishment. (2) #1 does not apply to one who exports, or attempts to, fish other than shellfish, caught and processed by a fisherman as whole or dressed unfrozen fish, salted or pickled fish. (3) Where the Minister has in writing notified a fisherman that there is serious contamination in the place where fish are processed by the fisherman, (a) no fish shall be processed in that place (b) no person shall export, or attempt to export, any fish processed in that place. 15 A registration certificate shall be issued by the Minister in respect of: an establishment where fish is processed and meets the requirements of Schedule I. 16 A registration certificate is not assignable. 17 The Minister may cancel a registration certificate, (a) where serious contamination is present (b) where the certificate was issued in respect of an establishment is not maintained in accordance with Schedule I and does not meet the operating requirements of Schedule II. 18 No person shall use a boat for fishing of for the transportation of fish for processing unless the boat meets the requirments if Schedule III of FIR .• 19 No person shall operate an establishment for storing frozen fish unless the establishment meets the requirements of Schedule IV. - 96 - MINIMUM COMPLIANCE STANDARDS FOR FISH INSPECTION REGULATIONS (FIR) PART 1 GENERAL Compliance 3 Fish processed in a registered plant is considered as produced for export and subject to FIR. 4 Products are normally inspected at the registered plant or storage facility. 5 Where inspector encounters difficulty in inspection the owner is responsible to make goods available. 7 Plastic tubs may be reused after thorough cleaning and disinf12cting. Sound, clean wood boxes may be reused within the region. 14 (1) It is an offence to export fish processed in an unregiistered plant. Anestablishment from which a Certificate of Registration has been removed,, or the Certificate has expired, must not process fish for export. If fish is processed contrary to the above legal action must be taken., (2) Fisherman-packers are exempt from construction and equipment requirements. He cannot export directly from his boat. Alli other FIR must be met. (3) Inspector may detain and send photo documented survey to Regional office 1 in the meantime. No processing of fish for export by fisherman 1where he s been notified in writing that there is serious contamination in his olant. 15 Schedule I of FIR must be met before registration certificate ma.Y be issued. Minor deficiencies for which there is a commitment made by the plant operator within an agreed time frame to correct may be tolerated. A team survey is completed before certificates may be issued. 16 No expiry date is shown on a continuing certificate of registration. A scheduled reappraisal of construction and equipment requirements is necessary. If ownership or name of plant changes a new certificate is required. 17 If a problem leading to product contamination is encountered, the inspector should notify District office with a recommendation for corrective action. District office will issue a warning, regarding withdrawal of registration and notify Regional office. If a plant me~:ts Schedule I but not Schedule II, it will not be registered, as non-compliance to Schedule II would result in deregistration. Therefore, plants should be team-surveyed for registration purposes when operating. 18 Vessel operators should be made aware of requirements and the benefits which will be gained in protecting fish quality with proper fish handling practices and sanitary operating procedures. 19 Requirements of Schedule IV, other than temperature, shall be applied to cold storages which are an integral part of the fish processing operation and are covered by a Certificate of Registration. (See cold storage survey procedures.) - 97 - MINIMUM COMPLIANCE STANDARDS FOR FISH INSPECTION REGULATIONS (FIR) PART 1 GENERAL F.I.R. Section # F.I.R.

Until such time as amendments (1975) to Schedule IV have been promulgated and implemented with cooperation of Fisheries Council of Canada and other members of the fishing industry, no action will be taken as a result of cold storage establishments failing to comply with~ sections of Schedule IV. Instead, field inspection officers will carry out routine inspection of freezing equipment performance and regular monitoring of cold storage per formance in registered plants. - 113 - TABLE 5 - LIST OF ACCEPTABLE MATERIALS AND COMPOUNDS Lists are available by contacting Plant Services at the F.W.L nrrip - 114 - APPROVED PEST CONTROL PROGRAM Section 11 of Schedule 2 of the Fish Inspection Regulations states that an "approved rodent and insect control program shall be maintained in 11 every establishment • Where pesticides are used, their application shall be made under the supervision of a responsible operator using proper equipment in a manner that prevents contamination of fish. Only approved pesticides as listed in Table 5 should be used. Rodents and insects are potential public health hazards. Rodents may carry diseases. most of ~lfhich are transmitted to man by contamination of food with rodent excreta and urine. The common house fly is a carrier of diseases caused by cro-organisms. There is also the danger of product contamination with rodent hairs or droppings and insect fragments. The following steps should be followed by plant management in carrying out a pest control program. 1) identify the problem. 2) delegate responsibility for solving the problem. 3) attempt to control problem. 4) follow up on results - (repeat as necessary). 1) Identifying the Problem A.

Crickets, Roaches go to warm, moist areas 8. Electrical switch gear, favorite for Roaches 9. Water treatment areas 10. Pallets 11. Crevices, openings a) may need to use flushing compound 12. Boiler rooms, engine rooms, cafeterias, locker rooms C. Specific Areas to Look for Rodents, Birds, Domestic Animals 1. Seldom used storage areas and equipment 2. Foundation walls 3. Pallet yards 4. Outside harborage areas 5. Rub marks - body contact 2) Delegate Responsibility for Pest Control Pests must be controlled by responsible operators in a safe manner. Ensure only approved chemicals are used and all directions for use are explicitly followed. Take all possible safety precautions. If chemical pesticides are being sprayed the operator should wear a mask, rubber gloves, rubber boots and coveralls which should be cleaned after each use. If any chemical is spilled, cleanup should be initiated immediately and thoroughly. Hot water bleach or lime are effective in cleaning up chemical spi 11 s. - 116 - No chemical pesticides may be used in a plant area where food is exposed. All areas that may later contact fish must be thoroughly rinsed with potable water before fish may be uncovered or brought back into the area. Any --"- i nsecti ci de with long-lasting residuals or continuous application apparatus are not permitted in food processing areas due to the fact that flying insects may fall into the product while under the effect of such pesticides. The use of many chemicals requires the applicator to have a specific license which may be issued by Agricultur1~ Canada. In extreme cases, professional pest exterminators may be required to rid a plant of its problems. Always check with local, municipal, town or city health officials prior to use of pesticides, insecticides or any chemicals that may be injurious to public health for approval prior to use. 3) Control A. One method of regulating pest control is to establish definite, increasingly tighter zones of defense. For example: a. Start with "de fence". Zone one should be a line furthermost from your buildings. 1. spring traps and bait stations, 40 feet apart 2. residual sprays 3. open area of 25 feet minimum, free of cover 4. change baits often use water bait or lettuce in summer 5. larvicides may be used for areas of standing water. b. Zone two -- next logical line of demarcation such as parking lot, roadway, etc. 1. Spring traps, protected with 1/2 cans - 117 - 2. bait stations, 20 feet centres 3. residual sprays 4. tracking powders 5. domestic animals must not cross this zone 6. area for pre-baiting techniques c. Zone three -- outside building walls, bait stations on 40 feet centres; inter-space with traps on 40 feet centers. 1. heavy residual ·sprays, up to 30 feet, out 10 feet. 2. tracking powder 3. thermo fog d. Zone four -- internal 1. spring traps on 20 feet centers 2. automatic traps, 30 feet centers and moved often 3. automatic aerosol dispensers, lunch rooms, offices, attic and locker rooms only 4. filtered air, pressurizing builing 5. vestibule or air lock 6. insect-o-cutors 7. white aisles, good storage practices 8. operator education e. Zones of defence -- making them work 1. Keep them active (a) fresh bait (b) change or rotate type of bait, attractant ( c) protected baited spring traps (d) rotate residual use (e) be alert to activity developing - 118 - (f) use prebaiting techniques (g) change fogging hours and areas to suit demand; pests are not static 2. Pay attention to details (a) pallets (b) pallet transfer (c) harborage must be controlled (1) structural; double walls, tile runs, false cei1ings (2) incidental; equipment, fixtures, lockers, etc. (3) temporary; storage, stored equipment (d) fixed runways (1) rodents highly suspiscious (2) use tracking powder (3) pre bait (4) treat, wait, treat, test, trap (e) look for the "un-obvious" (1) load levelers (2) foundation drains (3) gutters (4) screened areas, flashings (5) elevation not always protection rodents jump -- rats can 11 glide" 1i ke a tree squire 11 , for up to 150' free fa 11 and hit the ground running. B. Specific Control Methods Detailed methods of control will depend on local conditions. Control methods should not disrupt ecological balances of nature. - 119 - i) Rodents Control may be accomplished by a) suppression or b) destruction a) Suppressive measures are those designed to keep rodents from food and water supplies and to keep them from gaining access to places where they can breed. the following are examples of suppressive measures: 1) Food should be stored in rodent-proof buildings or containers. 2) Garbage should be placed in metal cans with tight-fitting covers. 3) Refuse disposal systems employing sanitary fill or incineration will discourage rodents. 4) All inedible portions of fish, unless immediately processed, should be made inaccessible to rodents. 5) All new construction should be rodent-proof. 6) All existing buildings should be inspected carefully. All openings large enough to admit rodents should be covered with metal sheeting or heavy screening. Rodent-proof screened drain outlets are also required. 7) Old lumber and rubbish piles should be removed. Good outdoor maintenance is required. b) Destructive measures are the poisoning and trapping of rodents. Rodents may be poisoned, the most effective toxin being warfarin. These chemicals are toxic to humans and food adulterants. To prevent other animals and children from accidently consuming poison, the compound should be carefully placed and one may use a rodent baiter which is a sanitary, tamperproof bait station. (One type is manufactured by Bell laboratories, Inc., Box 5133, Madison, Wisconsin, distributed by Poulin's Exterminators at 24 Marion Place, Winnipeg.} Poulin's recommends one bait station every 30 - 50' for rats and every 10' for mice. The bait should - 120 - be checked every 2 to 3 days and replenished as it disappears. Once the bait level remains constant then the problem has likely disappeared, or a new solution is required. Poison-food for rats should not be stored where it may absorb bad odors as rats will not respond to bait that smells of gasoline or other repugnant fumes. Squirrels may be caught in 11 1i ve" or "tender" traps and then transported to a safe distance from the plant. Rozal poison, commercially impregnated into grain may be mixed with peanut butter if the problem is too great. ii) Birds Birds are serious contamination problems as their dropping harbour salmonella and other bacterial of public health significance. Birds may be controlled by using "live" traps with bait. Lights and noise-making devices won't curb them for long as th~y will become accustomed to the commotion and return in greater strengths. Other than poi?oning, there are two methods of discouraging birds. Areas in plants where they like to roost may be painted with Tanglefoot, a polybutelane non-toxic substance. Birds do not like the feel and avoid lighting sticky compound. The Nixalite Co. of America manufactures roosting deterrents for birds It consists of sharp prongs of uneven lengths attached at various angles to a base wire. This is place where the birds like to roost and can be easily made with wood strips and sharp nails or wire. iii) Insects Ensure all food is covered or removed before spraying any chemicals and that food-contact surfaces are thoroughly rinsed with portable water - 121 - before processing co!l1l1ences. The use of insecticides should augment, not replace, the standard methods of sanitation such as the adequate disposal of offal, effluant and sewage. Pyrethrum is the co1TUTion active ingredient in most of the insecticides recorrmended for use in food processing areas. This chemical leaves very little or no residual and application must be repeated whenever the problem presents itself. Wind screens set up a barrier of fast-moving air to preclude entry of flying insects. These fans are generally quite costly and not always effective. Insec-o-cuters will help to control the flying insect problems if placed, mounted, and maintained correctly. They will not stop insects from breeding or from entering the building. Good housekeeping practices are also important in pest control. 4) Follow-up There is no such thing as pest-proofing a facility. Recovery rate of pests if fantastic. A 90% kill of rats, with no follow-up treatment, will result in 2 - 6 % return rate of the original population per month. Original level will be reached in 30 months and due to natural selection of original survivors the population will be more resistant than ever. Therefore, pest control must be an ongoing duty and concern of all plant personnel. The extent of control needed will vary according to the type and .severity of problems encountered. - 122 - Plastic Tub and Wood Box Storage Outside storage of tubs and boxes permits exposure to rain and other elements which may result in mold growth and deterioration of wooden boxes. Tubs and boxes can pro vi de a source of rodent harbourage and contamination by bird excreta which may lead to the presence of bacteria of public health significance and may be transmitted to the product, yet not detected by routine inspection of containers. Industry does not have the expertise or necessary equipment to satisfactorily clean or disinfect wooden boxes brought into the ant from outside storage. Many plants using wooden boxes have started switching to the use of plastic tubs. These generally require less storage space and are more easily c 1eaned. However, tubs or boxes contaminated with rodent or bi rd dropping cannot be judged to be satisfactorily cleaned by removal of excreta fo 11 owed by washing and must also be disinfected. Disinfecting will _g_robably kill most bacteria om the tubs but will not be very effective for wooden boxes due to the porous nature of the wood. The absence of visual signs of contamination following cleaning is i nsuffi ci ent, and cleanliness must be verified by 1aboratory analyses especially where contamination by animal excreta is evident in tubs or boxes. Only new, clean and sound containers for storage, packing and shipping of fish is permitted. However, within a province, used boxes and tubs may be shipped between plants if they are clean and sound and may also be shipped between provinces if they are clean and sound and stay within the Region. To ensure tubs and boxes are clean a protection facility of some kind is required to prevent contamination by their direct exposure to pests and weather. - 123 - Ideally all boxes and tubs should be kept in the plant away from the processing area, or in any building that complies to the construction and operation requirements of the FIR. Note: Satisfactory box construction and tub and box storage areas are a requirement for new plant registration and evidence of satisfactory protection of containers is a requirement for continuing registration of existing plants. The following are minimum requirements for 5 of the parameters involved for tub/box storage areas constructed as separate facilities: 1) Floor - cement or wooden platform either directly on ground or with 11 11 a platform at least 18 - 20 from the ground. Boxes must not rest directly on ground. 2) Walls - wood, or wire mesh (up to 1/2 inch) screen, or heavy tarp. 3) Ventilation - fan or screened windows in enclosed buildings. 4) Exclusion of animals and birds - keep gate or door shut. 5) Surrounding area to be kept clear from long weeds or grass, which could harbour pests. - 124 - An officer may not permit the use of boxes or tubs if he has reason to believe that there are dirty, unsatisfactory containers within a lot. He may permit industry to segregate out acceptable tubs or boxes and re-submit any such acceptable containers for inspection prior to using them. Where there are complaints from plant managers that tubs are being received from the source contaminated, the containers, may be detained by the inspecting officer. A notice of detention will be written and given to the plant manager and a copy sent to the source management. The detention notice serves as documentation for the plant manager that the tubs were received · directly from the source in unsatisfactory condition. Where the containers are dirty but production is such that there would be a shortage of containers if the unsatisfactory ones were returned they may be used when necessary if they are thoroughly cleaned. Where there had been evidence of bird droppings or animal contamination the containers must be disinfected. The local inspector will notify the management in writing that a problem exists and that remedial action by the plant sending unsatisfactory tubs is necessary in order to prevent any further occurrences of this type. II V') I-z c:( _J CL w V') 0 CL 0::: ::::> CL ,_..I I- _J ~ :2: - 125 - MULTI-PURPOSE PLANTS Multi-purpose plants are plants where commercial processing of fish and other product(s) occurs in the same establishment. Establishments which are to be used for purposes other than fish processing require permission for such usage from the DepartmE~nt. Other appropriate agencies which may be involved must also be contacted by the plant operators. A ·ietter is to go to the fish plant owners and managers to inform them that different products may be processed in the same plant as long as the following conditions are met to ensure sanitary fish processing operations: i) Receiving and holding areas in plants processing fish and other products at the same time, to be completely separate to prevent possible bacterial and physica1l contamination of fi:sh by dressed animal carcasses. Our concern is linked to contaminated and/or diseased carcasses being thrown on same floor where fish in tubs are being held, awaiting processing. ii) Wet working/processing areas in plants processing fish and other products at the same time, to be completely separated for same reasons as in (i). The processing (cutting, etc) of animal carcasses in same immediate area as fish processing is not considered a sanitary operation. iii) Cold storage areas can be separated by way of partitioning off freezer areas. iv) Plants may operate as multi-purpose in lieu of requirements as illustrated in i) and ii) provided that: a) processing of fish is carried out a different time from other products; b) other products - 126 - are not being stored or processed with the fish except as in iii); and c) provided that the plant is thoroughly cleaned and sinfected prior to processing fish. Field officers should be fully aware of opening and closing dates es in an area and should ensure that proper cleanup procedures occur before start-up ring shing operations. 127 WATER/ICE ACTION REPORT FOR 840412 ------ [I ISIR ICI; MAN Il'OBA plant plant water saaple result follow-up ice sa111ple result follow-up nu111ber name date date date di ate YYHMDD YYHHDD YYMliDD YYiiMDD 31001 F.F.M.C.

Water and ice samples should be taken con-currently with a team survey. Samples for both water and ice should be taken once each operating period or every six months whichever term is longer. If a problem presents itself, sources should be monitored more closely. Water obtained directly from municipal source should be sampled at least once each year. If water and ice sample is unsatisfactory, the District should immediately contact the plant operators and suggest a means of rectifying the situation (e.g. extending hose further into lake or utilizing source away from obvious causes of contamination) and include these suggestions on the Bac teriological Report sent in to Regional office. If an unsatisfactory sample is analyzed while the inspector is still present he should investigate and suggest corrective measures, and ensure that the product coming from that plant is carefully monitored. Districts are to revisit the plant as soon as possible and resample the water in the same operating season within a reasonable time frame. If problems persist, it may benefit the plant to have an inspector present for a day or two so that he may be able to discover the source of con tamination. Chlorination of water and/or ice supply may be necessary and batch chlorination should be practiced unless a gas chlorinator is warranted. If the water is grossly contaminated, an alternate source must be found immediately. - 133 - In all cases where water/ice contamination sources cannot be resolved and bacterial counts reduced to acceptable levels, Districts should contact Regional Headquarters to request participation ~ the Regional Microbiologist and Plant Services Section for in-plant and water source surv12ys. All plants processing fish for the export market must have acceptable water and ice sources. 1. For water supplies used by registered plants, plants undergoing registration, and all municipal water, the coliform levels should not be greater than 2/100 ml water analyzed.. For water supplies used by other plants not included in above, the co"liform levels should not exceed 10/100 ml water analyzed. 2. For all ice supplies used by our fishery operations, the coliform levels should not be greater the 10/100 ml melted ice analyzed. NOTE: The final results of water/ice analyses will be based on the geometric means of samples analyzed, ie. 3 water or ice samples. For the geometric averaging of the data, primary product inspectors are to be provided with either log tables or scientifc calculators. ii Field personnel involved with water/ice analyses have the option of withdrawing one sample of water/'ice instead of the historical 3 sample, and undertaking triplicate analyses of the one sample withdrawn. The final reportable results will be the geometric average of these triplicate analyses. If one sample is to be withdrawn, larger sample bottles, ie. 1000 ml, are to be used. When water samples are collected there should be sufficient head space in the container to allow manual shaking 25 tim12s through an arc of one foot just prior to analys12s. This is very important if triplicate analyses are to provide comparable and accurate results. If there is sufficient waiting period between triplicate analyses, ie. slow filtration in the case of MF analyses, the water sample should be shaken again prior to subsequent analyses. iii Inspectors obtaining water samples are to obtain same from a primary outlet such as a tap. Artificial ice is to b12 sampled from newly manufactured ice (prior to handling with shovels, etc.). A natural ice source is to be sampled from ice washed thoroughly with potable or sterile water. Water samples may be taken from other than a primary outlet in order to determine levels of contamination for chlorination purposes. Ice samples may be taken from other than newly manufactured or washed natural sources to determine lev12ls and sources of contamination (eg. shovels). Any such samples may be analyzed in addition to primary sources and must be clearly indicated on the bacteriological reports. - 134 - iv It is essential that stringent aseptic techniques be used when obtaining water/ice sample for analyses. Geometric Means of MF Field Water/Ice Results Thanks to H. Ballon and K. Scott there is a simple method of obtaining geometric means of water/ice results - without using log/antilog tables. The following will thus explain this improved method. Please review same with field personnel and comment if you so desire. The Geometric Mean of several water/ice sample results is: n ______./s i x S2 x Sn where n is the number of samples and S1 , S2, etc. are the individual sample counts. This is usually calculated with a slide rule, scientific calculator or logarithm and antilogarithm table, the latter involving longhand addition and division which is quite involved. A simpler method is to use a 'look-up' table with columns listing the 'multiplications' of the plate counts, and their corresponding geometric means, for any number of samples from 3 to 6. For example, if we had 3 water/ice results of 3, 5, and 7, the multiplications would be 3 x 5 x 7 = 105 (done by hand or simple calculator). Looking down the 'plate count multiplication' colurm for 105, we find that 100 is the nearest value. Since we had 3 samples, we would look in the 3 column opposite 100 and find 5 as the answer. When the multiplication is very large, and between the listings in the plate count column, we can estimate an answer by interpolation. For example, a multiplication of 275,000 for 3 samples would be 65 in the~ column. Note: If all sample counts were 0 (zero), the multiplication as well as the geometric mean would also be zero. However, if one or more but not all of the counts were zero, the normal multiplication would again by zero, giving an invalid result. In such cases, change each 0 to 1 and multiply as usual. For example, counts of 0, 0, and 20 become 1, 1, and 20, giving a multiplication of 20 (not O) and a geometric mean of 3. 135 Plate count Number of Samples Plate count Number of Samples Multiplication 3 4 5 6 Multiplication 3 4 5 ------6 1 1 1 l 1 1,250 11 6 4 3 1,500 11 6 4 3 2 1 1 1 1 2,000 13 7 5 4 2,500 14 7 5 4 3 1 1 1 1 3,000 14 7 5 4 3,500 15 8 5 4 4 2 1 1 1 4,000 16 8 5 4 4,500 17 8 5 4 5 2 1 1 1 5,000 17 8 5 4 5,500 18 9 6 4 6 2 2 1 1 6,000 18 9 6 4 6,500 19 9 6 4 7 2 2 1 1 7,000 19 9 6 4 7,500 20 9 6 4 8 2 2 2 1 8,000 20 9 6 4 8,500 20 10 6 5 9 2 2 2 1 9,000 21 10 6 5 9,500 21 10 6 5 10 2 2 2 1 10,000 22 10 6 5 13 2 2 2 2 12., 500 23 11 7 5 15 2 2 2 2 15,000 25 11 7 5 20 3 2 2 2 20,000 27 12 7 5 25 3 2 2 2 25,000 29 13 8 5 30 3 2 2 2 30,000 31 13 8 6 35 3 2 2 2 35,000 33 14 8 6 40 3 3 2 2 40,000 34 14 8 6 45 4 3 2 2 45,000 36 15 9 6 50 4 3 2 2 50,000 37 15 9 6 55 4 3 2 2 55,000 38 15 9 6 60 4 3 2 2 60,000 39 16 9 6 65 4 3 2 2 65,000 40 16 9 6 70 4 3 2 2 70,000 41 16 9 6 75 4 3 2 2 75,000 42 17 9 6 80 4 3 2 2 80,000 43 17 10 85 4 3 2 2 85,000 44 17 10 7 90 4 3 2 2 90,000 45 17 10 7 95 5 3 2 2 95,000 46 18 10 7 100 5 3 3 2 100,000 46 18 10 7 125 5 3 3 2 125,000 50 19 10 7 150 5 3 3 2 150,000 53 20 11 7 200 6 4 3 2 200,000 58 21 11 8 250 6 4 3 3 250,000 63 22 12 8 300 7 4 3 3 ·300,000 67 23 12 8 350 7 4 3 3 350,000 70 24 13 8 400 7 4 3 3 400,000 74 25 13 9 450 8 5 3 3 450,000 77 26 14 9 500 8 5 3 3 500,000 79 27 14 9 550 8 5 4 3 550,000 82 27 14 9 600 8 5 4 3 600,000 84 28 14 9 650 9 5 4 3 650,000 87 28 15 9 700 9 5 4 3 700,000 89 29 15 9 750 9 5 4 3 750,000 91 29 15 10 800 9 5 4 3 800,000 93 30 15 10 850 9 5 4 3 850,000 95 30 15 10 900 10 5 4 3 900,000 97 31 16 10 950 10 6 4 3 950,000 98 31 16 10 1,000 10 6 4 3 1,000,000 100 32 16 10 I~) Raw Comments/Action <3 MPN/100 ml Satisfactory, No treatment N/A Satisfactory required. ~-1n MPf\i/lnn ml ...,, .lb V' I II I' f .L.VV 1111 Simple chlorination • <3 MPN/100 ml 10-100 MPN/ Simple or gas chlorination. <3 MPN/100 ml Satisfactory 100 ml 100-1100 MPN/ Filtration and/or ozonation <3 MPN/100 ml Satisfactory 100 ml and chlorination or alternate source. 1100+ MPN/100 ml None premitted.

They will normally be conducted wh1::n bacteriologically unsatisfactory end-of-"line products are being produced by a plant. Some of the reasons for conducting an in-plant bacter'iological survey in domestic plants are as follows: 1) SPC values over 250,000/g for raw products or over 100,000/g for cooked products, 2) Eschericheria coli in excess of 400/lOOg. 3) Presence of coagulase positive staphylococci. 4) Presence of Salmonella, Shigella, EEC, etc. The main purpose of any swab survey is to determine the point or points at which the product is contaminated and to assess the effect of remedial measures as these are introduced. The swab methodology and rat i ona ·1 e of same is outlined in parts 12 and 13 of the Standard Procedures Manual for Bacteriological Analyses. The use of the swab technique in performing in-plant bacteriological surveys can be conducted in either a ~litative or a quantitative manner. The latter method, making use of a 211 x 5" stainless steel template to more precisely enumerate bacterial numbers per unit area of surface swabbed, can usua'lly pinpoint a contamination problem .. However, the use of either one of these two methods (along with in-line/end-of-line product sampling) is *As performed by laboratory personnel. Regional responsibility - Salmonella. Shigella, Clostridium, E.E.C. and organism identifications. Districts perform analyses for SPC's, Coliforms, Faecal colliforms, E. Coli, and Staphlococci coagulase positive. - 139 - acceptable. The method used may depend on a number of factors such as the type/location of a fishery operation, type and/or extent of a contamination problem, type of product, and the results of a visual plant survey as performed by primary product inspectors as part of their routine duties. As soon as a bacteriological problem is encountered, visual inspections should be carried out at assess plant operations. Also, the plant's water supply should be immediately checked for sufficient pressure and washing efficency in all washing operations along with chlorine and coliform determinations. The use of abundant amounts of ice and/or refrigeration methods during holding, packing, and shipping procedures should be encouraged to minimize any increases of bacterial numbers from the time the fish are caught and processed to the final end-of-line product. All personnel should be aware of the rationale behind such a survey especially since they will be working together to solve a common bacterio logical problem. A better understanding by all personnel involved of the swab methodology, reasons for conducting in-plant bacteriological surveys, various types.of fishery operations and product contact surfaces that may be possible contamination sites in these operations will lead to a more efficient coordination of efforts to ensure that fish and fish products are of high quality, have a longer shelf life, are free of organisms of public health significance and are safe for human consumption. Note: Product contact surfaces are equipment surfaces that product comes into contact with throughout the fish flow route (harvesting-packing-processing) and represents possible contamination sites. When applicable and practical, in-line as well as end-of-line samplings should be performed at these surfaces at these same sites. Personnel handling the products should also be swabbed - i.e., gloves, hands. - 140 - The type of analyses performed on in-line/end-of-line product, swab samples, will depend on the contamination problem - i.e., high SPC's, E. coli, coagulase positive staphylococci, Salmonella/Shige11a, etc. Generally, initial emphasis should be placed on determining bacteriological counts on the incoming fish along with estimating the efficiency of a product washing operations. The use of a 2" x 5" template for swabbing procedures will yield a more accurate picture of a contamination problem. To determine the efficiency of a plant's product washing procedure, e template must be used (in the swab technique) to quantitate standard plate counts (not fecals) on at least ten fishe~y samples - before and after passing through the washer. The opposite sides of each of these fish are swabbed before and after washing. Sampling Times (dependent upon type of operations) All sample stations are to be numbered and named. Samples should be taken: 1) prior to operation, 2) at least one hour after the operation has commenced, 3) during the morning break (before equipment washing procedures), 4) after the morning break, 5) during lunch break (before equipment washing procedures), 6) after lunch break, 7) after the final clean-up operations at the end of the day, 8) consecutive, follow-up surveys, - times as outlined above. - 141 - Examples on In-plant Microbiological Surveys Where a microbial problem has been encountered in an end-of-the-line sample and a microbiological survey is required in order to locate the source of contamination, a pattern should be followed tracing the flow of that problem product through the entire process. The process flow indicated in the accompanying diagram may aid those conducting such surveys. Swabs and/or in-line samples should be taken along the processing route in locating the source of the problem as follows: [l] or [2] fresh fish being or recently received. [3] or [4] fresh fish transferred to pre-processing or awaiting processing. (A, B or C) [5] [6] fresh fish after scaling (line 1) and before washing [{6) where there is not continuity of 5-7]. [7] [5B] [5C] fish after washing to determine effect of sprayer or washers. [8] [6B] [6C] fish after handling by filleters, trimmers or splitters. [7B] [7C] fish after running through a skinner or deboner. [9] [88] fish after washing to determine the effectiveness at the washing stage. [10] fish that has been coated with a solution such as po lyphospate. [11] [8B] [BC] fish that has been handled by a weighman or panner. The fish at this point is ready for fresh shipping or for further processing such as freezing. Samples should be taken in such further processing (freezing) as indicated by the arrows (see flow chart). - 142~ - The effectiveness of cleanup operations can be determined following the flow in processing sequences by taking swabs of the various pieces of machinery, cutting boards, knives, glovesi, tables and process containers. Swabs should be taken before, during, and after processing operations (especially before startup in the first shift and after cleanup during breaks and between shifts). Water, ice, glazing and coating solutions or any other materials that come in direct contact with fish at any stage during the process should be sampled. ---1 - C'> ~" ~ ';::; I h'J ,.

T w :r: f- - 14-4 - THE MEMBRANE FILTER TECHNIQUE INTRODUCTION The membrane-filter technique has been well documented and accepted as a standard method for the bacteriological analysis of water and waste water ("Standard Methods for the examination of Water and Wastewater", lastest edition). Simply put, a water sample is passed through a bacteria-retentive membrane filter, and the bacterial cells in the water sample are quantitatively removed and retained on the filter surface. The filter is then placed on an appropriate nutrient medium, and the nutrients diffuse by capillary action through the pore structure of the filter and reach the surface, where the individual cells are nourished and grow into visible isolated colonies which can be counted without the aid of a high magnification apparatus. SCOPE AND APPLICATION Membrane filter methods are preferred over MPN or other techniques, where applicable, because of the following advantages. ADVANTAGES a) One of the primary advantages of this method is its speed. D1::finitive results for total and faecal coliforms can be obtained in 22-24 hours, whereas 48-96 hours are required for the multiple-tube fermentation method. b) Considerably larger, more representative water samples can be examined than with the MPN. With water of low bactE!rial density such as finished waters, larger sample aliquots can be used to enhance the reliability of the results. - 145 - c) The precision and accuracy is greater with the MF than the multiple-tube technique because the former makes a direct count of colonies per unit volume. In general, microbial synergisms/antagonisms do not affect the counts obtained by the MF (as compared to the MPN procedure) since individual cells caught on the surface of the membrane are separated from one another enough as to not interfere with each other's growth - in either a positive or negative manner. d) The MF method represents savings in time, labour, space, supplies and equipment. e) Because of the portability of a commercially available 11 field kit" the MF procedure is very practical for field studies. This MF procedure is especially advantageous over the MPN technique in the remote areas where it is often impractical or impossible to bring water samples back to the home-based lab in time for analyses. The use of the portable MF kit in the field allows field personnel to rectify problem water supplies on site, the following day and water samples were collected and filtered; also, the MF kit can be very useful in the field to determine plant contamination sites via in-plant bacteriological swab surveys. LIMITATIONS Although the majority of water samples can be tested by membrane filtration, there are some limitations with certain water samples and with the membrane filters themselves. a) Some water samples may contain large amounts of colloidal materials or solids such as iron, maganese or alum floes or clay. Other samples may contain high numbers of algae. These substances can clog the membrane filter pores and prevent filtration If the bacterial counts of such - 146 - samples are high, a smaller volume or aliquots of a higher dilution of sample must be made to minimize the E~ffect of sample turbidity ere a re now commercially available pre-filters which can be used to remove much of the turbidity without substantially reducing bacteria 1 numbers - ;. e., used prior to the membrane filtration process. b) Large numbers of non-specific, non-coliforms may mask the appearance of coliform indicators on selective MF media. Generally coliform counts should be counted in the range of 20-80 per membrane filter with a total bacteria 1 count NOT exceeding 200 co 11 oni es on the membrane surface. c) Extensive comparison studies between the MPN and MF methodology show 1ed that the organism Aeromonas hydrophil a, a non-coliform, produces a sheen on the membrane filters. However, these colony sheens are more pin-pointed than those produced by true coliforms and can usually be eliminated in the coliform counting procedure. The use of a fluorescent light 1>"!ill mini1mze the enumeration of this organism as a coliform. d) Industrial waste water may contain zinc, copper, or other heavy metallic compounds which can absorb onto the membrane filter and interfere subsequent bacterial development. However,the presence of these compounds in the MPN tubed media may also interfere with growth of coliforms and subsequent gas formation in the Durham fermentation vials. e) Indicator organisms stressed in the environment may be poorly recovered.

Dilutions may, at times, be required. PROCEDURE (PORTABLE MF FIELD KIT) The stainless steel filter holder assembly is stored inside the field kit. This unit must be sterilized before use. First, the stainless steel receiver cup is removed from the funnel base assembly. Methanol is poured around tne - 149 - base onto the asbestos wick and ignited. After 30 seconds, the cup is placed over the funnel and the assembly is left in the closed position for 15 minutes. This will sterilize the funnel due to the formation of formaldehyde resulting from the ignition and burning of methanol in the absence of oxygen. The cup can then be removed and placed under the filter base ready for filtration. Before use, the funnel should be rinsed with sterile distilled peptone water in order to wash out toxic residues. Sterilization between water and ice from the same location or different sources may be sterilized by flaming \'lith alcohol \'/hen a series of samples are run in one sequence. The stainless steel forceps are used to transfer the sterile filters from their packaging material to the filter holder base and then to the plates. The forceps can be sterilized by dipping into methanol or ethanol and flaming. The membrane filters are made of a cellulose acetate material having very small uniform sized pores which allow only particles smaller than bacterial cells to pass through. The filters trap all bacteria and larger particles on the upper gridded surface. When the pads are placed on the nutrient, the isolated bacterial cells on the surface of the membrane form a single mass of cells which is visible as a colony. The filters are pre-sterilized (avoid the use of membranes sterilized by ethylene oxide since residues entrapped inside the filters are toxic to bacterial growth) and packaged in waxed paper. After being carefully removed and placed grid side up on the receptacle, the funnel assembly is replaced and the collar locked into position. - 150 - The suction tube (attached to the syringe) is plugged into the appropriate hole in the filter holder base. Pumping the syringe produces the vacuum i ch draws the water through the membrane fi 11 ter. The apparatus ·is now set up for filtering a water sample. In the actual filtration of a sample, 100 ml of water (see section on "Suggested Sample Quantities" if smaller aliquots are used) is poured into the stainless steel measuring cup (graduated in 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 has been sterilized by coating with alcohol and flaming. After measuring, the sample is then poured into the funnel. For 3 water samples from the same source, it is not necessary to sterilize the funnel between samples, ging filters is all that is necessary. The sample is drawn through the filter by pumping the syringe several strokes and then allowing the water to be drawn into the lower cup. A washdown of the funnel with sterile water should be used after each sample. Care should be taken in removing the filter after filtration as the vacuum remaining will cause it to be held against the supporting screen. The edge should be slowly lifted with the sterilized forceps. In dealing with turbid water samples, filtering problems may occur as the suspended materi a 1 wi 11 clog the filter. 100 ml may not pass rough the filter and 50 ml or some smaller volume will have to be used as the sample. Also Prefilters may be required (see section entitled "Limitations"). This should alays be noted in the reporting of results. Heavily contaminated water sources have been found to give overcrowded conditions on the filters making counting difficult. In thesE? instances a number of dilutions will have to be made (see "Suggested Sample Quantities ),. - 151 - After filtering the sample, the funnel is removed and the filter is placed into a Petri dish containing a prepared growth medium, i.e., M-Endo agar Les. When placing the filter onto the surface of the agar, care must be taken to prevent air bubble entrapment under the filter. This can be prevented by rolling the filter onto the surface while holding the Petri plate at an angle. The outer edges of the filter can be pressed down with the end of sterile forceps to help the filter make better contact with the agar. The plates are inverted, sealed with tape or placed in a small plastic bag and labelled, noting time and date of incubation prior to being placed on the rack in the incubator. Because the incubator is a dry air type, the lid of the incubating chamber should not be kept open any longer than necessary for loading the racks. The colony counting phase of the field kit operation is the most critical. The plates should be removed from the incubator at 24 ± 2 hours. Counting of colonies may be aided with a magnifying glass, Quebec Colony Counter, etc. Coliform colonies will be seen as dark pink to dark red plus a golden metallic sheen often with a greenish tint. The size of the colonies is variable. It is important to note that a fluorescent light source located as nearly directlj above the colonies as possible is best for distinguishing the colonies with the metallic sheen. The results of the counted colonies can be reported using the following: 100 x no. of colonies x dilution factor Col iforms per 100 ml = ...... _ __...... _ __v_o-=-1 u_m_e___,f,...,..i .,,...lt_e_r~e~d,..--,.m....,l~).-----~ where the dilution factor is the reciprocal of the dilutions used. For example if 1.0 ml (see 4.4) of a 1/10 dilution is filtered and 21 sheen - 152 - colonies counted (should be done in duplicates) the no. coliforms /100 water is: (lOO)(i:6(lO) = 21000 = 2.1 x 10 4 The filters themselves can be preserved as a permanent record placing them into containers called "Petri slides" after drying. The use of the Petri slides would be recommended in some cases where difficulties in field counting arise and it is desirable to send the filters to the Headquarter's lab for confirmation of counts. Faecal coliforms: Use m-FC Broth. The membrane must be incubated in tight-fitting plastic Petri di shes inverted and immersed in a water bath at 44.7°C ± 0.2°C for 24 hours. If petri dishes are not water-tight, they may be placed in water-proof plastic bags before immersing. Faecal coliform colonies are blue. Other coliforms produce grey to cream-coloured colonies. Counting is done under magnification, as outlined in section on "colony counting phase on page , and presents no difficulty. Count all blue colonies, regardless of size or intensity of colour. Report results as "Faecal co"liforms/100 Enterococci: Prepare m-Enterococcus Agar, pour into the bottom half of 60 mm plastic dishes and allow to solidify. Place filter pads in the upp1~r half the same dishes and saturate each pad with 1.9 ml m-PYC Enrichment Broth. Filter samp 1es and t ran sf er membranes to the saturated filter pads in tne dishes. Incubate the closed dishes for 3 hours at 35°C. Transfer the incubated membranes from the enrichment pads to the m-Enterococcus Agar in tne lower half of the dishes. Incubate the dishes in an inverted position (agar - 153 - above) for the remainder of 48 hours at 35°C and then examine for faecal streptococci using lOx magnification. Count all red or pink colonies. Report 11 resu ts as: "Enterococci /100 ml •
