What's at Stake in Food Production
Retailers, Regulators, and Consumers All Demand Proof of Safety
Retailer Mandates Are Getting Tougher
Walmart, Costco, and Publix are requiring x-ray records, metal detection logs, and weight verification data from suppliers. If you can't produce the data, you can't ship.
FSMA 204 Traceability Enforcement
The FDA's Food Traceability Rule requires lot-level records and 24-hour traceability for high-risk foods. Inspection records are part of the data set you must be able to produce.
Product Giveaway Is an Invisible Tax
Overfilling to avoid underfill risk costs food manufacturers 2-5% of revenue in giveaway. Automated checkweighing with filler feedback eliminates it.
