This targeted scope audit of Tassal Operations' farmed Atlantic salmon processing establishment, conducted 20 March 2025, examined food safety and biosecurity compliance across on-farm and processing operations. The audit covered medication and vaccination records, harvest procedures and traceability, processing inspections, staff training on disease identification, and verification of maximum residue limits for agricultural chemicals. Salmon supplies came from multiple Tasmanian farm sites including Okehampton Bay, Storm Bay, and D'Entrecasteaux Channel. A Rickettsia bacteria outbreak (endemic to the region) was restricted to the southern D'Entrecasteaux Channel area, with affected pens medicated and increased surveillance implemented; Macquarie Harbour remained unaffected. Audit scope included mortality removal procedures, receival inspections ensuring only healthy fish processing, consumer complaint assessment, and corrective actions, though farm sites were not visited during this audit.
