National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP): A
program under which the federal Food and Drug Administration
works cooperatively with the states, the Interstate Shellfish
Sanitation Conference, and industry to assure the safety of
molluscan shellfish (clams, oysters, mussels). Among other things, all such
products entering interstate commerce must be handled by state-certified
dealers, properly tagged, tracked by appropriate records, and be processed in
plants that meet sanitation requirements. The FDA continually reviews state
shellfish control programs for effectiveness.
