Regulatory compliance

Continuous investment in compliance and inspection are necessary to ensure that quality management is instilled in every step of the production process. New legislative requirements from the European Parliament (Regulation No 178/2002) as well as the Bioterrorism Response Act in USA require that food companies account for every link in their supply chain. APV has successfully applied tracking and tracing solutions for several years and has closely researched the requirements associated with the new regulations.

The combination of product traceability with process traceability provides the foundation for instant remedial action in the case of an incident. For example, it enables you to identify a non-conforming batch before shipment, or within the supply chain to avoid expensive product recalls.

In addition, it fosters a culture of continued plant performance improvement through the granularity of the data it provides and a unique opportunity for data analysis.
