Food Safety and Quality Control Systems

It is not realistic for a typical food processor to decipher the vast number of pages in the Federal Register and then independently take the steps necessary to comply. Stand alone paper based or independent databases are not sufficient to keep up or to demonstrate compliance in meeting audit, internal control, and customer requirements. 

Adroit understands the various food safety certification programs including SQF and FSSC 22000 and the role they play to successfully provide support in meeting audit requirements. 

Food Systems Validation

The FDA, USDA, and CFIA require registration of all food processors, etc, and under their jurisdiction conduct food safety audits. These audits are both announced and unannounced.

If regulators find practices or conditions that are not in compliance with the regulations, they issue “non-compliance” findings.  Depending upon the severity of the non-compliance findings penalties up to criminal prosecution can occur.

Because inspections may occur at any time the food processors need to have an ongoing food safety program that includes integrated food safety systems. Adroit understands the food safety programs that let you successfully meet audits. We  can help you to establish a high performing food safety system that is integrated into your core ERP and other business systems to enable rapid response and demonstrating ongoing compliance.

Integrated Food Quality and Food Safety System Implementation

Food processors, distributors, and logistics companies are continually confronted with increasing burdens of food safety record keeping as the FDA, USDA, and CFIA and the GFSI work to drive food safety towards prevention in addition to reaction.

Total Quality Management and Six Sigma principals outline that to ensure a quality result, the process must provide for integrated process steps and continuous feedback on performance.

This means that food processing, regulatory, and compliance need to operate as a single integrated system.

When the regulatory or compliance record keeping is paper-based or separate from the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System(MES) then it creates an environment where traceability and required controls are missed.

Best Practices in Food Regulatory Compliance Consulting

Adroit understands the key business practices to overcome these challenges.

When the compliance system is built into the process step, control points can be enforced as a prerequisite to the completion of the purchase receipt, material issue, temperature setpoint, shipment, etc. Independent traceability and food recall systems cannot effectively provide the speed and granularity necessary to execute recall within required time frames. As such the scope of recall will be much larger and the costs more extreme.

At Adroit. we are experts in both Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Warehouse Management (WMS) Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and Food Safety systems.

Adroit can work with you to move your compliance scheme into an integrated and work-low driven framework.

Companies that team with Adroit reduce ongoing record keeping costs, speed record access, and ensure higher levels of compliance and food safety.
