What does it matter that your processing plant can produce and ship 50 batches a day if once those products get to another processing plant or store, they cannot be sold because no one trusts your brand?
With traceability systems for food processing, your plant could show its customers, as well as the FDA as part of the Bioterrorism Act of 2002 Title III, that your ingredients are not adulterated and that your product – their ingredient or sale-able goods – is safe and fit for public consumption or ready to go into another mix for a finished product. Traceability systems for food processing help your company maintain its good status because they do not allow bad ingredients or contamination within mixes.
Traceability Systems for Food Processing Keep Accurate Source Information for FDA Mandates
Brand tarnishing is not the only mishap that could occur without traceability systems for food processing at facilities throughout the country. Title III of the Bioterrorism Act of 2002 clearly states that all food processing and manufacturing companies must maintain accurate source information for all ingredients in recipes and mixes. This source information is three-fold: companies must keep immediately previous source information, current source information, and future source information, or to where the food product is being shipped.
With traceability systems for food processing, tracking information is linked to every shipment coming in and out of a given facility. Moreover, in one example of traceability systems for food processing, Formula and Batch Control, and Lot Tracking Software, can hold several different tracking numbers for each ingredient, creating a full history of all ingredients in a given recipe or mix.
