Food Safety
Healthy food starts with responsible handling. At GNExTT, food safety is not a compliance checkbox. It is the standard we hold ourselves to every single day.
One of the Caribbean’s Most Advanced Seafood Processing Facilities, Built on Food Safety.
Our food safety program is led by trained food scientists working in close collaboration with our processing and technology teams. We do more than meet FDA standards. We implement the SQF Edition 9 Food Safety System, one of the most rigorous GFSI-recognised standards in the world, with daily digital monitoring, third-party testing, and multiple quality checkpoints from receiving to final packaging.
This commitment protects our buyers, their customers, and the integrity of every product that leaves our facility. Food safety is non-negotiable, and every order is handled with the same disciplined standard from intake to final release.

OUR FOOD SAFETY PROGRAM
Key Components of Our Food Safety System
📋
GFSI Food Safety Management System
Development and maintenance of a full GFSI-compliant Food Safety Management System. Monthly comparisons to SQF Edition 9 program expectations. Continuous improvement culture focused on what can we do, not just what we must do.
🌡️
Cold Chain Control
Fresh seafood is processed at temperatures under 40°F throughout the facility. Digitally monitored cold storage is used at every stage, from receiving through packaging and dispatch. Temperature records are part of every product’s traceability file.
🔬
Third-Party Testing
Regular third-party testing covers water, ice, ingredients, food contact surfaces, and finished products. Results are documented and available to buyers upon request. We do not rely solely on internal inspection because independent verification is part of our standard program.
📅
Daily Inspections & Production Logs
Daily inspections at multiple checkpoints throughout the day ensure programs are being followed. Daily review of digital production logs by our food safety team. Any deviation from standard triggers immediate corrective action before production continues.
🏛️
FDA Registration & HACCP
FDA-registered export facility. Full HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) plan implemented and maintained. Our HACCP program covers all identified biological, chemical, and physical hazards across the entire processing chain.
✅
Supplier Compliance Standards
GNExTT maintains supplier compliance standards aligned with international audit expectations. All vessels and crew in our supply chain are vetted and registered, and supplier documentation is required for product entering our facility.
