A day in the life

From login to release — no end-of-shift paperwork.

What the auditor receives
The record assembles itself as the operator works — no end-of-shift paperwork project.

TRACE IT. TRUST IT.
  1. 06:30·step 01
    Receive ingredients

    Driver scans the BoL. Ingredient lot, supplier, FSVP verification, AAFCO category — all captured at goods-in.

    21 CFR 507 / FSVP
  2. 08:00·step 02
    Formulate

    Recipe pulls input lots and writes the batch. Guaranteed analysis (protein, fat, fibre, moisture) calculated against the AAFCO profile.

  3. 10:00·step 03
    Cook + 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
  4. 13:00·step 04
    QC release

    QA verifies guaranteed analysis, moisture, micro. Release gate is spec-or-no-ship — preventative controls enforced, not aspirational.

  5. 14:30·step 05
    Pack + label

    Label prints with the AAFCO statement, lot, best-before, weight — pulled from the registered recipe.

  6. 16:00·step 06
    Ship + lot trace

    Pallet lot, ship date, carrier, recall scope captured. Mock recall resolves in seconds — every bag tied back to every input lot.

Speaking your language

The terms your auditor uses

V5's UI uses these names for pet food workspaces — no cross-industry jargon to translate.
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.
What keeps you up at night

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.

Self-Building Compliance Records

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.
