Preface:
The Plant purchases its raw materials (i.e. Fresh Yellowfin Tuna – Thunnus
albacares) from the regular suppliers in the fish auction market of General Santos City
Fishport Complex Tambler. This operation is being handled by the company’s Purchasing
Division composed of a well experienced personnel in fresh tuna fish buying and quality
classification. Also, a QC Inspector is deployed in the station to countercheck the fish
freshness condition, internal fish temperature and quality prior the buying. In-case fish
affected by foul odor as primary decomposition indicatory during the sensory evaluation,
the Supplier presence is immediately called-up prior the fish rejection or return to the
Supplier. Also, fish backbone temperature of 4 oC or below is maintained per individual
fish from the time of offloading from the vessel till market auction and quality
evaluation.

Fish gilling and degutting is likewise performed in the buying station as soon as
fish quality passed the QC evaluation. Individual fish weighing is done for recovery
purpose. A ribbon is attached at fish tail indicating fish quality classification or grade and
its individual weight for further Plant identification.

Fish is kept chilled in an insulated plastic tub with chlorinated ice slurry (10 ppm)
to keep its freshness and low temperature prior to be transported to the processing
Plant. A Harvest Vessel Report is provided by the supplier every fish delivery.

1. UNLOADING/RECEIVING - CCP 1

1.1. Individually unload and receive fresh chilled tuna in the receiving window going to
the clean stainless table.

1.2. Perform an individual sensory evaluation on fish flesh odor, color and texture by
getting a small portion of fish flesh using the improvised meat tester or stainless
knife. Take a small sample of meat from tail, middle and belly portion.

1.3. Reject fish by informing the Supplier if detected with foul odor/decomposition
defects and document rejection on Fish Rejection Form.

1.4. Check fish backbone temperature (standard fish BBT is 4 oC or below) by random
sampling using digital thermometer and document result in Fish Receiving Report
form.

1.5. Randomly collect 18 samples from different fish for in-house laboratory analysis.
