Food traceability is important because you provide reassurance to both suppliers and customers of your products by preventing contamination. This, in turn, increases customer loyalty and encourages a positive reputation of your brand.

The system allows you to swiftly remove them once identified, minimising the risks to your customers, while simultaneously instilling trust and building a loyal customer base.

A key part of food traceability is keeping sufficient records, which helps you and your business in the long run. An electronic traceability system like the Stevens Traceability System provides enhanced traceability by capturing and storing data at every stage of production. This is helpful

because the more detailed and meticulous the records are, the easier it will be to successfully withdraw goods or carry out a product recall if required. What’s more, regulations like the BRC standard require an inspection of your traceability records as part of the assessment process.

Essentially, a traceability system ensures food quality, safety, and compliance with food standard regulations like the BRC standard.
