Official U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish Processors

Recognized by The Catfish Institute (TCI) for Producing the Highest Quality U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish

TCI’s Certified Processor list identifies U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish processors who meet the highest quality standards for producing great-tasting U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Stringent quality controls adhered to by these processors (including taste-testing at the farm before harvesting and again at the processing plant before the fish are unloaded) ensure that consumers receive a premium product with superior flavor.

Processors must meet the following criteria set by TCI in order to be included on the Certified Processor list:

1. Be located in the U.S. and listed on the monthly USDA/NASS “Catfish Processing Report”

2. Process grain-fed channel catfish, farm-raised in the USA, and delivered live to the processing plant

3. Be (a) listed on the “USDC Approved List of Fish Establishments and Products” or (b) submit evidence to TCI that a HACCP plan is in place that conforms to FDA established guidelines

4. Receive the majority of live fish from farms which use feed products from TCI Member Feed Mills

As of August 2006, 10 catfish processors (representing more than 90 percent of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish production) are represented on TCI’s Certified Processor list. A listing of certified processors follows.
