Food safety software with FSMA 204 traceability as a live KDE/CTE ledger, not a quarterly spreadsheet.
HACCP plan management, FSMA 204 Food Traceability Rule with Key Data Elements and Critical Tracking Events captured in real time, SQF / BRCGS / FSSC 22000 evidence, allergen control matrix, sanitation workflow and 24-hour recall drill. One platform for every GFSI scheme your customers will audit you against.
You're shopping for food safety software because FSMA 204 hits January 2026 and your traceability lives on paper.
FSMA 204 KDEs aren't captured at the CTE — they're reconstructed after
HACCP CCP monitoring is a paper log that arrives at QA a week late
Allergen changeovers rely on a checklist nobody signs
Recall drill takes 3 days when GFSI says 4 hours
SQF / BRCGS / FSSC prep is a separate binder for each scheme
Sanitation verification (ATP, environmental swabs) lives in a lab file
Supplier COA review is manual and delays receiving
Food safety, modeled the way FDA and GFSI expect.
HACCP / HARPC plan + CCP
Hazard analysis, CCP identification, critical limits, monitoring, corrective action and verification — all structured, all linked to the batch record. CCP excursions trigger deviation workflow automatically.
FSMA 204 KDE + CTE capture
Key Data Elements captured at Critical Tracking Events (growing, receiving, transformation, shipping) in real time. Sortable Food Traceability List (FTL) items get full one-up / one-back linkage. 24-hour FDA data request answers in minutes.
Allergen control matrix
Line- and product-level allergen matrix with changeover validation, allergen-status labeling and cross-contact risk scoring. Changeovers require signed verification, not a checklist that gets photocopied.
Recall + mock recall
24-hour recall drill against lot-level traceability — customers, quantities shipped, hold status. Meets SQF, BRCGS and FSSC 22000 recall exercise requirements natively.
Sanitation + environmental monitoring
Sanitation SOP execution with pre-op inspection sign-off, ATP swab results, and environmental monitoring program (EMP) with trending and out-of-spec workflow.
Supplier + COA management
Approved supplier program with COA capture at receipt, spec compare, and receive-block on out-of-spec results. Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) evidence built in.
What changes when food safety is one system.
- FSMA 204 data request answered in minutes, not the 24-hour maximum
- Recall drill drops from days to hours
- HACCP CCP excursions surface at the line, not in a QA review
- Allergen changeover verification is enforced, not implied
- SQF / BRCGS / FSSC unannounced audits become status quo
- Supplier COA out-of-spec blocks receiving before it becomes an incident
Every food regulator and GFSI scheme.
FSMA 204 (21 CFR Part 1 Subpart S)
Food Traceability Rule — KDEs at CTEs for FTL foods, one-up / one-back linkage, sortable spreadsheet output within 24 hours of FDA request. Effective January 2026.
HACCP / HARPC (21 CFR Part 117)
Preventive Controls for Human Food — hazard analysis, preventive controls, monitoring, corrective actions, verification, supply-chain program, recall plan.
SQF Edition 9
System elements 2.1–2.9 and food safety fundamentals evidenced live. Unannounced re-cert audit ready by construction.
BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9
Fundamental requirements, HACCP, food safety and quality management, site standards, product control, process control, personnel — all evidenced.
FSSC 22000 v6
ISO 22000 + ISO/TS 22002-1 PRPs + FSSC additional requirements. Food safety culture and food defence programs modeled.
21 CFR Part 11 (where applicable)
For food companies subject to regulated e-records (dietary supplements, infant formula), bound e-signatures and hash-chained audit trail.
Food safety software, answered.
What is food safety software?
Food safety software is the system that runs your HACCP plan, captures FSMA 204 traceability data, enforces allergen and sanitation controls, and produces the evidence GFSI schemes (SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000) require at audit. It replaces paper CCP logs, spreadsheet traceability, standalone allergen matrices and per-scheme binders with one platform.
Does V5 handle FSMA 204?
Yes. The Food Traceability Rule (21 CFR Part 1 Subpart S) effective January 2026 requires Key Data Elements captured at Critical Tracking Events for foods on the Food Traceability List. V5 captures KDEs live at each CTE, maintains one-up / one-back linkage, and produces the sortable spreadsheet FDA can request within 24 hours.
Does V5 cover HACCP and HARPC?
Yes. Hazard analysis, CCP or preventive control identification, critical limits, monitoring frequency, corrective actions and verification are all modeled. Monitoring happens at the line and CCP excursions trigger deviation workflow immediately — not at end-of-shift paperwork review.
Which GFSI schemes does V5 support?
SQF Edition 9, BRCGS Food Safety Issue 9 and FSSC 22000 v6 are all supported natively. The same evidence base serves all three, so a site certified against one can add another with a fraction of the incremental effort.
How fast is the recall drill?
Sub-hour for most sites. Lot-level traceability with customer, quantity, ship-date, on-hand and hold-status is a single query — not a three-day spreadsheet reconstruction. This is well inside SQF and BRCGS mock-recall time limits.
How long does implementation take?
Most food manufacturers run HACCP CCP capture and lot traceability live within 30 days. Full FSMA 204 KDE/CTE coverage, allergen matrix, sanitation workflow and multi-scheme (SQF+BRCGS+FSSC) evidence typically takes 8–14 weeks.
Make FSMA 204 the easiest audit you run this year — not the one that took your team a quarter to prepare for.
