Following the Bioterrorism Act of 2002, the Food and Drug Administration, on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services, was charged with monitoring source information for all ingredients and mixes at food processing facilities throughout the U.S.
As a result, FDA compliance software has been developed to ensure that plants and food processing facilities meet FDA mandates. That food manufacturing facilities meet food ingredient source information requirements is not the only benefit of FDA software compliance for business, however.
Don’t Suffer Legal Responsibility for Food Contamination; FDA Software Compliance Limits Food Adulteration Issues to Original Source
The legal ramifications for a company supplying contaminated or adulterated food are indeed problematic for a business. Not only does an offending company have to answer to the FDA, their business and brand reputation immediately suffers as a result. In this regard, FDA software compliance not only keeps a business legal with the FDA and DHHS, it also protects the company’s brand from undue tarnishing in the event that a batch or shipment from their facility is contaminated through no fault of the company in question.
FDA software compliance saves this company from its customers canceling orders and seeking another ingredient or product source.
One such FDA software compliance system is Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software. Through implementing this system at a food processing facility, companies can realize significant production yield increases and ingredient loss decreases through the automation of factory processes that the system affords on the plant floor.
