Food Safety Through Food Sanitation Monitoring
Food Safety and HACCP sanitation monitoring for food and beverage processing and production environments.
FSMA Compliance
US food companies are now required to comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements (CGMPs). Whether an organisation has been following HACCP for years, has already achieved certification under a GFSI scheme, or is working to gain control over food safety processes, having the right tools and resources can save considerable time and effort in ensuring compliance and responding to auditors.
The Matrix Gemini LIMS Environmental Monitoring module provides a robust framework for documenting procedures followed, environmental monitoring results and corrective actions taken. The trending features offer an early warning of sanitation problems before they escalate into violations, saving the company from the challenges associated with discovering a problem too late for production and sales to continue uninterrupted.
Quality Standards
A comprehensive historical record of facilities testing delivers clear documentary evidence that the company meets required food safety standards and drives good practice, particularly in the area of HACCP. If a problem arises, the Matrix Gemini LIMS Environmental Monitoring solution enables food safety and microbiology specialists to show federal investigators when issues began and what corrective measures were implemented. The complete audit history of all testing allows early signs of declining food hygiene sanitation to be identified, demonstrating a proactive inspection regime that prevents problems from occurring in the first place.
The solution’s graphical interface allows food safety and microbiology experts to specify sampling point locations and define how frequently technicians should take samples from those points. The underlying LIMS platform tracks all samples collected and stores every sample result with complete version control, guaranteeing a thorough audit trail.
Facility Reporting
Test results from each sampling point can be instantly retrieved from the database and displayed graphically, providing immediate early warning of deteriorating conditions before a line-stop occurs. The system can automatically trigger corrective actions and increased sampling frequencies or vectoring at suspect sampling point locations to monitor conditions more closely. It can also display previous corrective actions taken for any particular sampling point over any date range.
