Seafood Consulting Services

In addition to daily business challenges, seafood industry participants face two sets of obstacles that never stop evolving. On one hand, product sources in the supply chain continue to change. On the other hand, the task of managing regulatory compliance is increasingly burdensome. Keeping up with this shifting landscape is difficult for producers, processers, retailers and restaurants alike. At NSF, our seafood consulting services provide you with knowledge and skills to help you navigate these changing requirements.

Services range from seafood HACCP certification audits and consultation to train-the-trainer classes and our virtual “seafood school” – all designed to give you the confidence you need to fully understand the rules to remain compliant and competitive.

NSF has augmented its formidable seafood-industry expertise by acquiring two seafood specialist organizations: Surefish and Global Trust Certification (GTC). This expanding team of global experts has an unmatched range of deep industry knowledge and regulatory experience based on active participation in standards-setting organizations worldwide. They know exactly what regulators want and why. Here’s just a sample of what we can do:
