- 06:30·step 01Receive ingredients
Driver scans the BoL. Ingredient lot, supplier, FSVP verification, AAFCO category — all captured at goods-in.
21 CFR 507 / FSVP - 08:00·step 02Formulate
Recipe pulls input lots and writes the batch. Guaranteed analysis (protein, fat, fibre, moisture) calculated against the AAFCO profile.
- 10:00·step 03Cook + kill step
CCP probe streams core temp + dwell time. Step won't sign until lethality target is met. Failure → auto-hold + NCR.
21 CFR 507 / HACCP - 13:00·step 04QC release
QA verifies guaranteed analysis, moisture, micro. Release gate is spec-or-no-ship — preventative controls enforced, not aspirational.
- 14:30·step 05Pack + label
Label prints with the AAFCO statement, lot, best-before, weight — pulled from the registered recipe.
AAFCO Model Reg - 16:00·step 06Ship + lot trace
Pallet lot, ship date, carrier, recall scope captured. Mock recall resolves in seconds — every bag tied back to every input lot.
The terms your auditor uses
- AAFCO
- Association of American Feed Control Officials — sets US pet food labelling + nutrient standards.
- Guaranteed analysis
- Min/max nutrient declarations on the label (protein, fat, fibre, moisture).
- Kill step / CCP
- Critical Control Point in the cook step — temperature × time that destroys pathogens.
- FSVP
- Foreign Supplier Verification Programs — required for imported ingredients under FSMA.
- FEDIAF
- European pet food federation — equivalent of AAFCO for EU markets.
- Recall scope
- The exact list of finished lots that contain a suspect input lot — what V5 returns in seconds.
Sound familiar? We built this for you.
Guaranteed analysis on the bag drifts from the batch actually made.
FSMA-204 KDEs (lot, location, date, qty) are reconstructed at audit time.
Recall on a bad ingredient lot takes days because forward / backward traces aren't linked.
Pre-requisite programmes (sanitation, allergen, glass policy) sit in three different binders.
The workflows you'd expect to see on day one.
Not a generic feature list — these are the specific pet food workflows V5 ships configured for, ready to run on your batches.
FSVP + ingredient lot intake
Supplier approval, FSVP record, allergen profile, and CoA captured at receive.
Recipe + AAFCO profile control
Nutrient guarantees and AAFCO profile compliance computed from the formula and CoAs.
Kill-step / cook CCP capture
Probe temp, dwell, and validated lethality recorded per cook cycle.
Guaranteed-analysis label panel
Crude protein, fat, fiber, moisture — printed values match the BPR by construction.
FSMA 117 / 507 traceability
Forward / backward genealogy from ingredient lot to pallet to retailer for fast recall.
Complaint & adverse-event log
Consumer / vet complaints tied to lot, line, shift, and supplier — trended for CAPA.
The record assembles itself as the work happens.
No paperwork project at end of shift. No reconstruction at audit time. The evidence IS the workflow.
Nutrient guarantee per lot
Per-batch nutrient roll-up checked against the AAFCO guaranteed analysis before release.
FSMA-204 ready
Receipt → transformation → ship CTEs auto-captured with all required KDEs; export on demand.
1-up / 1-down trace
Forward + backward trace from a finished bag to every supplier lot in seconds.
GFSI evidence
Sanitation, allergen, glass / hard plastic, training records all attached to the batch.
