Reports of Food and Beverage Recalls Increasing Significantly - O2 Food ERP Software Can Help You During a Recall?

In a recent Food Business News article, it's been reported by the Food and Drug Administration that a 57% increase in recalls took place in the third quarter.  That's nearly 8.5 million units of food and beverage coming back off of the shelves and consumers hands.

As a consumer, this number doesn't really seem all that surprising since it seems as though every other day a public notice was going out to recall another product.  Do you as food and beverage manufacturers find this statistic to be surprising?

While food recalls can ultimately occur at any point in the supply chain, food manufacturers need to have the business tools, such as the appropriate ERP software to help them manage the processes during a recall.  For example, O2 Food ERP software provides users with important tools, such as cradle-to-grave lot tracking and one-click lot recall with mail merge.  Having a food manufacturing software program to aid the recall process can help you move quickly during a critical time.  Food manufacturing ERP software can also help you find important information quickly as everything is stored in a central location.

With recalls flooding the news and shining a spotlight on the food and beverage industry, it's important to give your company as many ways as possible to be prepared in the event that a recall involves your business.  For more information on food and beverage ERP software for Sage 500 ERP, visit www.evs-sw.com.
