Food and beverage (F&B) manufacturers, processors, distribution and storage operators have been challenged with information management related to their food safety compliance programs since the onset of both regulatory and industry requirements. Much of this attention on documents and records management was originally emphasized by the industry requirements of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) Standards. Today, document management is central to the benchmarked standards (i.e., BRC, FSSC 22000, IFS and SQF), as well as many customer-specific requirements and various rules under the FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). This has sparked a food safety revolution in the supply chain across the U.S. and globally, including at major retailers like Walmart and Costco.
With the seemingly endless rollout of regulatory statutes, industry certifications, and global requirements, the need for documented programs continues to evolve, leaving F&B companies seeking the right solutions.
