Free for seafood processors · Draft, by Keelsure

Write your HACCP plan once. Share it with every US buyer.

Draft asks about your product and process, then drafts a hazard analysis and CCPs from FDA’s Fish and Fishery Products Hazards and Controls Guidance — the document FDA measures your plan against. When a US importer invites you, you share the plan with them directly, instead of emailing the same files to five different buyers.

Free for the plant, always. The US importer pays. No card, no subscription, nothing to install.

Uploading through your invitation link is what shares your plan — automatically, with just the importer who invited you.

Who sees your plan

Nobody but the importer who invited you. Your plan and records are private by default, and uploading through your invitation link is what shares them — with just that importer. No other processor, and no other importer, ever sees your documents.

What it costs you

Nothing. The importer pays for their side of the system because they carry the legal obligation. There is no paid tier you are pushed toward, and no fee to keep your plan on file.

In your language

English and Spanish today. The plan a US buyer receives is in English; your monitoring forms can stay in the language your line works in.

Why your buyer asked

This is routine. Nothing here suggests a problem with your product.

Under 21 CFR 123.12, a US importer must verify that every foreign processor operates a HACCP plan. FDA’s inspection program treats the importer’s verification as inadequate if your plan omits a hazard the Guide identifies for your species and process — so they are obliged to check. If you disagree with a finding, say so in the reply field; a documented justification is a valid answer and stays in the record.

How it works
01

Describe the product and process

Species, form, packaging, and your process flow — from receiving to shipping. Fifteen minutes.

02

Review the draft, hazard by hazard

Every hazard the Guide expects for your product, with the actual Guide text it came from. Correct anything that is wrong for your plant.

03

Name your trained individual and sign

The regulation requires a trained person to do the hazard analysis and sign the plan. Draft asks who that is, and does not export without them.

04

Share with the buyers who ask

One link per importer. When your guarantee letter or plan review is due, you both see it coming.

What it does not do

It does not replace your trained individual.

Under 21 CFR 123.10 a trained person must perform the hazard analysis and sign the plan. Draft asks you to name that person, and will not export a plan without them.

It does not say your plant is compliant.

It shows what is in your plan and what the Guide expects that is not yet addressed. The judgment is yours and your buyer’s.

Every hazard cites the Guide.

If the Guide has nothing to say about a hazard for your product, Draft says so instead of inventing a control.

From the trainer

“You have spent two days learning to write a plan the way the Guide expects. When you get back to the plant you will do it once, and then it will sit in a binder for three years while the Guide changes and your buyers change. This is the tool for the part after the course. It does not replace you — and if it is wrong about something, tell me. That is more useful to us than a compliment.”

Your buyer sent you a link. Start there.

If you arrived without an invitation, you can still try Draft on any species and process. Nothing you enter is saved until you open a real workspace.

Draft is a documentation tool. It does not determine or certify compliance with any regulation. A trained individual must review and sign every plan under 21 CFR 123.10.
