VERIFICATION COMPONENTS
Regular and periodic audits and spot checks are
conducted to ensure compliance with TTVP regulations.
Audits – The TTVP conducts
formal periodic audits of a company’s documentation and procedures associated with
programmatic regulatory requirements.
Spot Checks –
Retail market spot check audits of canned/pouched
tuna products are regularly made throughout the country in order to verify the
authenticity of the dolphin-safe label and/or to verify the product has been imported into
the United States legally. After an individual item has been purchased on a random basis,
the importer or distributor is then requested to supply the necessary documentation to
substantiate their dolphin-safe claims.
