Food safety and traceability

Food safety and traceability software for small producers

Cottage food permits, HACCP plans, FSMA records, organic logs, GAP audits. We move the records out of binders and into software, so an inspector or certifier gets a clean report.

Traceability

One step back, one step forward

Each lot records what went into it and where it went, so a recall drill or a traceability request takes minutes.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you make

    What you make and what you use now. A spreadsheet and a Square account is a fine answer.

  2. Get a short plan

    Keep this, replace that, connect these, and the cost.

  3. We set it up

    Setup and migration done for you. You approve before anything goes live.

  4. Run it or hand it off

    Take it from there yourself or keep us on for the upkeep.

A good fit if

  • You are moving from cottage food to a commercial kitchen
  • A buyer asked for your food safety plan
  • Your organic inspection takes a week of prep every year

Questions

Do I need a HACCP plan?

It depends on what you make and how much you sell. Juice, seafood, meat and poultry require one. Many other makers need a written food safety plan under FSMA unless they qualify for an exemption. We build the plan your regulator and buyers ask for.

What is FSMA 204?

It is the FDA food traceability rule. It asks for extra records on certain foods, including some cheeses, eggs and fresh produce, so a product can be traced quickly. We set up lot records that cover it.

Can this keep my organic certification records?

Yes. Input, harvest, sales and cleaning records are organized the way a certifier reviews them.
