Risk-Based Histamine Control in Seafood: Is Your Cold Chain Truly Protected?

Histamine contamination in scombroid fish (like Tuna, Mahi-mahi, and Mackerel) is a non-negotiable risk for seafood processors. Once formed due to temperature abuse, histamine cannot be destroyed by freezing, cooking, or canning!
Under FDA's compliance guidelines, 35 mg/kg signals significant mishandling or decomposition, while 200 mg/kg represents a direct illness hazard.
