As a food quality assurance or quality control professional, you fully realize what’s at stake if your facility delivers one bad batch to a customer, let alone several contaminated batches. Plant recalls and brand tarnishing can hurt your business and catch the attention of the FDA given Bioterrorism Act of 2002 mandates. Specifically, food processing and manufacturing facilities must maintain accurate information on where their ingredients came from, where those ingredients are in their facility, and to where they’re being shipped or delivered.
As such, food quality assurance has become a critical control point at food processing and manufacturing facilities.
Don’t Get Caught with Food Quality Assurance Issues at Your Company; Utilize Batch and Track for Optimal Food Quality Assurance
Through Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software, food quality assurance is automated with full life-cycle quality management. This type of food quality assurance offers recipe prompts, computerized scaling of ingredients, and accurate inventory deductions that create a plant that decreases ingredient losses by 95% and increases final product yield by 5%.
Further, scheduled piece weight checks, final goods labeling, finished goods warehousing, and scheduled cleaning and preventive maintenance measures through food quality assurance systems like this MES system, give batch manufactures continued good manufacturing practices and peace of mind that neither their product nor their brand will be affected by contaminated or adulterated ingredients.
In the event that a recall is required, food quality assurance systems like this can make the difference between a one-batch recall or a full-scale, multiple-batch crisis. You can yield accurate batch data and required recall information in as little as 4 hours to satisfy the FDA’s Bioterrorism Act of 2002 Title III mandates.
