How Laboratory Information Management System Software Ensures Traceability in Food Safety Testing
Traceability means a complete understanding of today’s complex food chain and testing at control points where contamination is likely to occur. Understanding the source of all raw ingredients, the CoA (Certificate of Analysis) report, other test results, and all associated documentation is critical. Globally sourced food faces challenges in quality assurance, shipping, labeling, storage, blending, testing, reporting, and traceability. Additionally, each area of the world has different approved testing methods and processes and is subject to different potential contaminants. Data management is the foundation of reliable traceability.
