Universal Citation: 13 ME Code Rules ยง 188-115-01
Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

The Vibrio parahaemolyticus Control Plan (the "Vibrio Control Plan" or the "Control Plan") applies specifically to American and European oysters (Crassostrea virginica and Ostrea edulis) and hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria) harvested designated control areas. The Control Plan provides additional and more rigorous controls than those imposed by DMR Rules chapters 9, 22 and 94 to the handling of American and European oysters and hard clams in the area described in Section 115.02. Insofar as the Control Plan time and temperature requirements exceed those imposed by existing rules or are in addition to those imposed by existing rules, the relevant provisions of the Control Plan shall supersede the provisions of chapters 9, 22 and 94.

The Control Plan shall be complied with during the harvesting and handling of the above-described species, as conducted by harvesters, certified shellstock dealers, certified shellfish establishments (sometimes referred to as shellfish facilities or plants), shucker-packers, shellstock shippers and receivers, reshippers, depuration processors, enhanced retail seafood license holders and all others involved in the processes described in chapters 9, 22, and 94.
