The update to US food safety policy is designed to put in place proper safeguards, it creates a challenge for food producers nationwide. Companies must now implement preventative controls, record the testing and safety data for each product and track a product\u2019s journey across the supply chain.<\/p>\n

And, while compiling that data, it must also be available to share with regulators within 24 hours of a request being made.<\/p>\n

That policy created daunting pressure for food producers who traditionally used manual methods to capture data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This was a particularly troubling issue for a dairy farm that was hand-labeling the 11,000 samples of milk tested each year. When milk was collected from the cow, a sample was stored in an ice bath and tested periodically over 72 hours, a process designed to make sure the milk is safe to drink and pathogen-free.<\/p>\n

Hand-labeling the milk made it difficult for the dairy farm to meet FSMA standards. Not only was the hand-labeling process time-consuming, but it opened a high potential for human error, which meant an increased risk of a contaminated and unhealthy product reaching store shelves.<\/p>\n

Faced with the untenable reality of continuing to label by hand, the dairy farm started using BarTender software<\/a>, which enabled a process to create, automate and manage the labeling of each sample.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now that BarTender software<\/a> has been implemented into the dairy farm\u2019s workflow, 18 labels are printed each time a sample is taken. Since those labels are printed from one BarTender file, the farm has consistent and accurate data and, with BarTender<\/a>-generated bar codes, a simple scan means data capture is a breeze.<\/p>\n

The BarTender system created a process that was easy, efficient and accurate. And, the software is so intuitive to use, the dairy farm is able to create new label<\/a> formats as needed without additional technical or IT assistance.<\/p>\n

After switching from the manual system to the BarTender software<\/a>, the dairy farm now has no trouble staying in compliance with the data capture and retrieval conditions of FSMA, which allows the for a quick, efficient response to all records requests from regulatory agencies and, ultimately, makes it easier for the dairy farm to send a safe product through the supply chain and into the homes of consumers.<\/p>\n
