From harvest-tag receipt to sealed retail case — one FSMA 204-ready batch record with PTI case label that matches the bag.
V5 Ultimate runs every step your regulated-manufacturer customers audit — Approved Supplier + FSVP qualification, barcode-scanned receipt of every super-sack, gravimetric dispense against the locked formula, ribbon-blender uniformity, moisture / aw / particle size / micro in the LIMS, per-customer release specs, kosher / halal / organic / non-GMO chain of custody, and an auto-generated current-rev PTI / GS1-128 case label on the printed case-label artwork, and a FSMA 204 traceability record ready in seconds. No paper batch sheets, no drift between the label and the batch, no recall panic.
Built for the FSMA Produce Safety Rule and FSMA 204 Food Traceability.
The same batch record — seen the way you run the plant.
For a B2B fresh-cut, treat or wet-food maker, the small wins compound with every super-sack. Finance sees higher yield on premium varieties and blended salad kits. Operations sees the next changeover clear the allergen and sanitation swab on time. Quality sees a CoA your customer's incoming QA will accept without a phone call.
Higher first-pass yield on premium varieties and blended salad kits — dispense drift squeezed, customer rejections killed, and true cost per case finally on the page.
- Per-batch actual cost: proteins, grains, premixes, packaging, labour and rework — visible in $, today.
- Lower giveaway from gravimetric dispense and in-line pack weight uniformity checks — no over-fill on premium kits.
- Fewer FDA / state feed-control findings from label-vs-batch drift and missing FSMA 204 KDEs.
- Most produce pack houses see V5 pay back inside year one and keep compounding.
From the FSVP-qualified harvest lot to the sealed retail case & FSMA 204 traceability record — one formula-locked thread.
Follow one blend. Every step below is a single screen in V5 — and the FSMA Produce Safety, allergen matrix, kosher / halal / organic chain of custody and customer-specific spec library run underneath them all.
Qualified grower, verified harvest lot, certification chain intact — before a pound reaches the wash line.
The only formula the line can run is the released, PrimusGFS-approved version — drift from the PTI case-label spec is physically impossible.
The batch can't ship until every PTI label attribute is green — and the reviewer sees every OOS in one place.
One finished batch, one current-rev PTI label, one QA-signed bag — no drift between the bag and the batch.
"If a grower just flagged E. coli O157:H7 — which retailers, DCs and e-commerce FCs are exposed?"
Every pallet ships with the batch record, GS1-128 SSCC, chain-of-custody marks and a case manifest tied to the released blend lot. When a grower flag, a customer complaint or an FSMA Produce Safety event triggers a stop-sale, V5's lot + case tree paints the affected bag ranges and destinations — forward from the finished blend and backward to every input powder, premix, flavour and packaging lot that built it. A CoA retraction with the recall-notice pack drafts itself.
A grower's field lab confirms E. coli O157:H7 on romaine leaf lot CM-6640. V5 walks the tree — the finished chopped romaine and spring mix batches that used it, the case ranges dispatched, the retail DCs, foodservice DCs and independent grocers exposed. Pull the lever to see the FSMA 204 sortable spreadsheet assemble itself.
Wash line PM, grinder verification, dust collection & Master Sanitation Schedule — on the same tablet as production.
Quality, FSMA Produce Safety Rule and PTI label control run through every batch — not stapled to the record at the end.
Every quality feature in V5 — mapped to a produce packing & fresh-cut processor.
The same platform that runs pharmaceuticals and human food — set up for the way a produce packing processor actually receives, preconditions, extrudes, hydrocools, tests, bags-off and releases a batch under 21 CFR 112, FSMA 204, FSVP, PrimusGFS Model Regulations and GFSI (SQF, BRCGS, FSSC 22000).
Approved Supplier Program & FSVP
Configurable per powder, premix, flavour and pack. CoA + FSVP + kosher / halal / organic verified at receipt; expired qualification blocks goods-in automatically.
Gravimetric dispense & uniformity
Loss-in-weight feeders and gravimetric dispense verify each variety to the gram and blend ratio. Pack weight uniformity samples pull along the leaf stream — an OOS uniformity opens a deviation.
Two-signature release
Production + QA review-and-release before any blend ships. Every gate signed with a validated e-signature — identity + meaning captured.
Deviation, complaint & customer feedback
One workflow from issue raised through root cause, action, verification and close. Linked to the affected blend, workstation, operator, grower and customer — customer complaint routes to the correct account team.
Formula & PTI label lockdown
Formulas are immutable, rev-locked and tied to the current-rev PTI / GS1-128 case label. The printed case-label artwork engine refuses to render a superseded GA — the line cannot bag with an out-of-date label.
Supplier scorecards & re-qualification
On-time delivery, CoA quality, FSVP status, GFSI certification, deviation rate and audit findings rolled into a live grower score. Expired qualifications block goods-in automatically.
Organic, non-GMO, grain-free & humanely-raised chain of custody
Certification and marketing claims (Organic 7 CFR 205, non-GMO Project, grain-free, humanely raised) carried lot-by-lot from receiving through wash & flume, coating, packaging and shipping — with mass-balance evidence enforced at each step.
PTI label proofing & guaranteed-analysis roll-up
V5 rolls up the batch's proximate, vitamin and mineral results into the printed bag's PTI / GS1-128 case label. A GA drift triggers a re-approved label proof before the next bag can print.
Retain samples & stability
Retain samples booked into the retain library per lot with location, disposition and expiry. Stability studies scheduled per blend and pack — appearance, moisture, aw, assay and micro pull-points tied to formulation.
Live on your wash lines, feeders, hydrocoolers and case-pack lines — no rip-and-replace.
We connect at the level your engineers and QA team expect — OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT, REST, EDI, file drops, SQL. Most plants are live on day one with the wash lines, spinners, coating drums, gravimetric feeders, sifters, metal detectors, case checkweighers, MAP tray sealers and case-pack lines already installed.
Wash & flume, dispense & grinding
OPC UA and Modbus links to Wenger, Bühler, Clextral, Extru-Tech wash & flume lines and sort tables; K-Tron, Coperion, Schenck, Acrison loss-in-weight and gravimetric feeders; Bühler and CPM core saws; Sweco and Russell Finex sifters. Screw speed, barrel temperature, moisture, SME and dispensed mass logged straight to the batch.
Magnets, metal detect & checkweigh
Bunting and Eriez magnets; Mettler-Toledo Safeline, Loma, Anritsu, Ishida metal detectors and case checkweighers. Reject events, test-piece verifications and giveaway data streamed to the batch — a failed verification hard-stops the line.
Bag-off, FIBC fill & label
Concetti, Premier Tech, Haver & Boecker, Choice Bagging case-pack and FIBC fillers; Videojet, Domino, Markem-Imaje, Zebra thermal-transfer and print-and-apply labellers. Current-rev PrimusGFS guaranteed-analysis bag artwork and lot code pinned per case at the line.
Lab instruments & LIMS
NIR, HPLC, FTIR, ICP-MS, LC-MS/MS, moisture analyzer, aw meter, bomb calorimeter, fresh-cut hardness tester, texture analyzer. Direct connectors for Waters, Agilent, Thermo Scientific, PerkinElmer, Mettler-Toledo, HunterLab and Malvern Panalytical.
ERP, WMS & customer portals
SAP, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle, Infor, JustFood, Aptean. Retailer EDI (Sysco, US Foods, Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh, retailer PTI partners), ASN and FSMA 204 traceability exports per retailer preference — email, SFTP, portal upload or API.
BI & data warehouse
Power BI, Tableau, Looker, Snowflake, Databricks. Direct SQL access to your tenant — your data, your queries, your validated reports.
21 CFR 112, FSMA 204, PrimusGFS & GFSI — at the data layer.
The records build themselves as the blend is executed. When the FDA FSMA inspector, an SQF / BRCGS / FSSC 22000 auditor or a state feed control official walks in, the evidence pack is one click — not a week of re-assembly.

The first six questions on every produce packing RFP.
How does V5 keep the PTI / GS1-128 case label on the bag in sync with the batch actually made?
How does V5 handle FSMA Produce Safety and FSVP for imported ingredients?
How does V5 handle FSMA 204 traceability KDEs and CTEs for a produce packing lot?
Will V5 talk to our wash lines, spinners, hydrocoolers, metal detectors and case-pack lines?
We contract-manufacture private-label produce packing for multiple brands on one line — how does V5 keep them separate?
What about IT — validated change control, SOC 2 and GFSI / certifying-body audit prep?
