• U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

  The **U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)** sets and enforces safety standards for all seafood imported into the United States, including oysters. They establish guidelines for harvesting waters, processing facilities, and transportation to prevent contamination and ensure product integrity. Our operations comply strictly with FDA regulations.

• Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference (ISSC)

  The **Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference (ISSC)** is a cooperative program between federal and state agencies and the shellfish industry. It develops and maintains uniform sanitation standards for the growing, harvesting, processing, and shipping of shellfish. Our Mexican partners adhere to ISSC guidelines, which are crucial for international trade and consumer safety.

• Mexican Health Authorities (SENASICA/COFEPRIS)

  In Mexico, organizations like **SENASICA (Servicio Nacional de Sanidad, Inocuidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria)** and **COFEPRIS (Comision Federal para la Proteccion contra Riesgos Sanitarios)** are the primary health authorities. They oversee the rigorous inspection and certification of aquaculture farms, including our oyster operations, ensuring compliance with national and international food safety protocols before export.
