Abstract The meat of fin-footed mammals contains complete protein with high biological value, as well as vitamins and minerals that are so necessary for the vital functions of the human body in the Far North. Nowadays fin-footed mammals are hunted only to provide food for indigenous people. In accordance with this, it was found that the procedure of the determination of the quality and safety of products obtained from marine mammals is outdated and requires changes. It is necessary to include in the regulatory and technical framework (GOST, SanPin) this type of meat and by-products of marine mammals, since this type of product is specific and the norms suitable for meat of all other slaughtered animals do not quite fit this category of meat because they do not contain indicators characterizing the quality and first of all, the safety of this type of product. The article considers the organization of the development of quota allocations for the fishing of marine mammals in the Chukotka Autonomous Region and the organization of veterinary and sanitary inspection of the products of slaughter of commercial animals.
