Quality Assurance
Uncompromising standards, verified at every step.
Food safety, cold-chain integrity, testing and traceability — the systems behind every carton we ship.
The standard
Seven pillars behind every shipment.
Quality is not a department at J J Seafoods; it is the operating system. These seven pillars govern how every catch is received, processed, frozen, tested, documented and shipped.
Receiving & inspection
Iced catch arrives at the receiving dock within hours of harvest. Temperature, freshness and origin are verified before any consignment enters the plant.
Grading & pre-processing
Trained graders sort by species, size and quality under chilled conditions. De-heading, peeling and deveining are done to buyer specification.
Washing & treatment
Product moves through chilled washes & treatment in stainless with hygienic foam.
Cooking & Blanching Raw
900kg steam cooking facilities.
IQF-blastfreezing-platfreezing
Individually Quick Frozen or block-frozen to achieve 18 Degree core tempreture
Packaging -labeling & metal detection
Inner bags, master cartons, retail packs and buyer-branded labels are configured per program, printed and verefied under Supervision
Cold storage & container loading
Product is held at –22°C in temperature-monitored cold rooms and dispatched into pre-cooled reefer containers under sealed loading protocols.

Testing
Independently verifiable — not just claimed.
Our in-house laboratory tests for microbiology (Total Plate Count, Coliform, E. coli, Salmonella, Vibrio, Listeria), chemistry (moisture, pH, antibiotic residues, heavy metals) and sensory parameters on every lot.
Retention samples are archived for the shelf life of each shipment. Third-party analyses from accredited external laboratories are conducted at defined intervals and are available to buyers as part of standard export documentation.
