Food Traceability
Traceability tools integrated into HACCP, quality and production forms
Traceability
In larger food businesses, many traceability systems are stand-alone systems, sometimes as part of the food business’s SAP or ERP system while small and medium sized businesses, tend to track raw materials and products on spreadsheets and paper forms.
Such an approach often means it may take hours or sometimes days to carry out a traceability challenge or product recall. With every moment that passes, the cost of a product recall or the risk of harm to consumers increases dramatically. This time lag is dangerous for a food business’s financial and reputational health, in addition to the impact on the consumer.
3iVerify takes a different approach. We believe that traceability should be built into an overall integrated Food Safety and Quality Management System as traceability is fundamentally a food safety and quality issue, not a production issue.
Traceability needs to be able to easily track raw material batches from suppliers, which finished product batches those raw materials were used in and what customers were sent the affected finished product batches.
In addition, food safety, quality and other management records like maintenance, cleaning and labelling controls need to be available to search in a cross-referenced way against any particular raw material or product trace so that the root cause may be identified quickly and accurately, and measures put in place to prevent recurrence.
3iVerify helps trace raw material and finished product batches, back or forward in seconds. It does this by capturing the batch lot numbers at the same time routine forms are being completed a part of one single system, for example:
-
Raw material checks at goods inwards
-
Production and quality checks during production
-
Customer dispatch and delivery records
Traceability data can be automatically captured as a natural part of staff doing their job, ensuring that the records are always fully up to date and that they stand up to audit scrutiny.
3iVerify’s traceability features are fully integrated with the corrective actions module and can raise actions against production lines, suppliers, departments, and other metrics so that performance can be analysed. Workflows can then activate to automate recall and mock processes, including the management steps to approve a recall.
Since 3iVerify may be integrated with your SAP or ERP system there is no reason to accept a second-best traceability solution.
