Special conditions for plant hygienen

1. Filleting and cutting boards should be frequently and thoroughly scrubbed and treated with disinfectant. Wherever practicable the boards should be continuously flushed with running potable water or clean sea water during use.
2. The flushing water should contain 5ppm minimum of residual chlorine. If they are not thoroughly scrubbed and disinfected, at least at the end of each working day, there may be serious day-to-day carry-over of microbial contamination.
3. All machines used in fish processing operations should be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected and rinsed at suitable intervals and at the end of operations and before resumption and at other times when necessary.
