Effective Food
Traceability:
The
ability to identify and follow the various stages starting from procuring raw
materials (from which supplier the material has been procured) to the delivery
of final products (till the final product has been received by the customer) is
food traceability.
At
JIC, we maintain various checklists for effective monitoring from the receipt
of the raw materials through the process and finally the distribution of the
finished product.
Our HSET team constantly monitors the
checklist and it is cross verified for the genuine work order. Traceability activity
is carried out once in a month based on different scenarios in order to
identify whether there are any gaps in the process system for traceability. If
in case any gaps are found in effective traceability process, necessary corrective
action is taken to mitigate the gaps.
The
traceability can be done in two ways either forward (Starting from stores till
the final product) or backward (starting from the final product to the initial
stage of raw materials).
Our
Food traceability system is capable of identifying and tracing individual
batches or lots of materials at each step of the process.
All
the batches and lots of materials are recorded in a systematic way on all the
food products, containers and the food production paper works.
The
Food traceability activity is complete only when it includes all the raw
material and finished product.
Our
food traceability records are linked between the raw material and the finished
product. The traceability details are retained in a format which allows having
an easy and timely access of information.
In
our business if we are not able to effectively perform the food traceability in
case of a complaint or receipt of bad quality there could be a situation or a
bitter consequence. To avoid these consequences we try to maintain an effective
food traceability process wherein the information and the proper documentation
is made easily available and the data can be retrieved very fast.
