More firms to export catfish to US
Food Safety and Inspection Service, the public health agency under the US Department of Agriculture, has allowed two more Vietnamese firms to export Siluriformes fish to the United States. According to the National Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Assurance Department, this brought the number of Vietnamese firms allowed to export catfish to the United States to 60. The two new firms are Hua Heong Food Industries Việt Nam and Cửu Long Fish Import-Export Corporation. NAFIQAD asked the two firms to actively check its catfish products to ensure requirements of the US Food Safety and Inspection Service are met. In addition, firms must register to get certificates for seafood exports at one of the NAFIQAD branches, which was compulsory to export catfish to the United States. From the beginning of October, certification for seafood exports will be conducted via the national window system.
