Ah, the Food Safety Modernization Act. My recent article FSMA Regulations are Still Stalled by White House Office of Management and Budget, it was discussed that the hold up could be due to the budget, as well as being an election year. Now we know there has indeed been a hold up as the deadline has came and went. While food and beverage manufacturers play the waiting game, it's important to realize there is something that can be done now, and that's adopting the proper technology.
Food safety is an issue that is constantly changing. Technology, such as O2 Food ERP software can help food and beverage manufacturers manage their food safety and compliance issues with ease. As regulations change, businesses will also need to change their processes. Food manufacturing software will document items right down to the raw materials used. Cradle-to-grave lot tracking and one click recall are just two of the features provided by the food software. Having the appropriate documentation to support your manufacturing processes and materials will always be beneficial.
It's difficult to say when the FDA will implement the FSMA, but food manufacturers can and should take it upon themselves to prepare. Food and beverage ERP software is a huge step in the right direction and will provide the documentation and visibility you need.
