Food companies have worked diligently to comply with the FDA's record-keeping and lot-tracking requirements as described in Section 306 of the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. By the end of 2006, all food manufacturers were required to have the capability to rapidly identify and track every single ingredient, from receipt through processing, packaging, and shipping, to the exact customer location. However, this one-up/one-back traceability has been difficult to implement due to lack of functionality in legacy ERP and manufacturing software systems, and the majority of food and beverage processors have missed this deadline.
The basis for the FDA regulations is straightforward: companies must be able to show where the food components/ingredients are at any given moment, where they have been, and how they got there - and they must prove that there are controls in place so that the process repeats. If properly done, these controls allow food companies to operate more efficiently, predictably and most importantly, more profitably.
