Traceability and Recall Testing
Rapid, accurate traceability is a fundamental requirement of food safety legislation, BRCGS, SALSA, and major retail codes of practice. We assist food manufacturers, packaging facilities, and distributors in designing, stress-testing, and verifying their traceability systems to ensure complete compliance and audit readiness.
