F.D.A. Looks to Food Manufacturers for More Information

Information is critical to food safety, especially in the case of a recall.  Collecting and mining this information is key to a speedy response in a food recall situation.  Recently, the Food and Drug Administration proposed to collect "additional food/feed facility profile information on a voluntary basis from firms that complete the F.D.A. food facility registration process."

So, what does that mean for food manufacturers?  It's still unclear at this point, but food safety organizations are moving towards gathering more and more information from food and beverage manufacturers. While this particular move is still voluntary, it only makes sense that this type of information will become a requirement at some point in the future.

There is a way to prepare yourself as a food and beverage manufacturer, however.  ERP software, specifically process manufacturing ERP software can help you track and consolidate all of the pieces of information into a single system.  O2 Food ERP software is a process manufacturing software exactly as mentioned and it was developed for the food and beverage industry so you get all of the tools you need to operate.  This food and beverage manufacturing software manages your food safety concerns and government compliance, such as HACCP and lot recalls.

Beyond the food safety management features, the food manufacturing software also provides formula security, cradle-to-grave lot tracking, nutritional calculations and reporting, Certificates of Analysis and much more.

Food and beverage manufacturing safety regulations are often changing in order to help prevent the spread of food-borne illnesses throughout the channel.  As more information is required by compliance agencies, it's important to keep you business safe by doing what you can to track and trace raw materials.  Now you can do this with ease using a food ERP software system, designed with your business challenges in mind.
