IN CANADA, FOODS MUST BE TRACEABLE ONE STEP FORWARD AND ONE BACK; IF YOU EXPORT FOOD TO THE U.S., YOU’RE LIKELY SUBJECT TO EVEN STRICTER TRACEABILITY RULES.
With food safety consultants on both sides of the border, TAG provides expert assistance and guidance on ensuring your domestic products meet Canadian regulations and your exported products meet U.S. and other foreign regulations. We have the knowledge and expertise to assist in your efforts and smooth your road to compliance!
TAG has worked with companies on enhancing their traceability processes since well before the Canada and US laws came into being. So, our expert consultants not only help you meet both country’s requirements, we provide solutions that enhance the benefits they bring to your company.
The SFCR requires that food businesses maintain documentation that identifies the food, traces the food and/or ingredients one step back, and traces the food one step forward – all under a unique lot code. TAG Canada experts understand the intricacies of the rule and can help ensure you are in compliance.
Determining where a lot begins and ends and assigning a code to that lot is more complex than one may realize, as the conditions for all the food in a single lot must be the same. TAG can help you determine both the lot and the code to be assigned to ensure compliance and business efficiencies.
As a Canadian company with a U.S. affiliation, we have experts on both sides of the border to help you interpret the U.S. FSMA Traceability Rule requirements; apply the Traceability Lot Codes (TLCs), Key Data Elements (KDEs), and Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) to your foods; and ensure complete compliance to the rule.
Rapid tracing is particularly critical in the event of a food contamination and/or recall to protect public health and your brand. The better your tracing system, lot determination, and recall preparedness, the better you will be able to contain the recall scope and preserve brand trust.
