A. The Delmarva region is known for poultry and seafood and its economy is largely depended on those two agricultural enterprises. Poultry and seafood should be processed and handled carefully to be safe for consumption. Describe the layout of a typical processing plant (you may use a flow chart) for those two products, making sure to pinpoint the most likely hazards during their processing.

B. Using the decision tree that was provided, determine the critical control points (CCPs) in each of the two processes in Q1 (a) above? Explain how you decided the CCPs.

C. Imagine that you are working in one of the food processing areas like a kitchen. Discuss any potential hazards that may enter food during food preparation/processing in the area you have chosen.

D. Imagine that a foreign government agency that regulates exports of seafood to the United States has employed you (and you are based in that country) and your task is to ensure that companies seeking to export are complying with the FSMA regulations on food safety. Explain the critical things to emphasize to ensure that the seafood exports are compliant based on FSMA Foreign Supplier Verification (FSV) protocols.

E. Explain how Covid-19 affected the marketing/distribution of poultry, seafood and other agricultural products from the Delmarva region.

F. Explain whether the number of food recalls due to suspected biological hazards decreased or increased during the Covid-19 pandemic? If incidences occurred, how were the recalls initiated and implemented by the affected companies?
