How Food Trace works
Food Trace replaces emailed spec sheets and manual allergen matrices with a
live, version-controlled system that keeps your technical team ahead of recipe
changes and labelling risks.
Every supplier product specification is stored, versioned and accessible in Food Trace. When a supplier updates a recipe or formulation, they submit the new spec through the platform your technical team receives an immediate alert, reviews the change and either accepts or flags the update for further investigation. No more outdated spec sheets buried in email inboxes.
Food Trace maintains a live allergen record for every supplier product covering all 14 major allergens required under UK food labelling law. When a supplier changes their allergen status, your team is alerted immediately. Annual resubmission prompts ensure declarations are always current reducing the risk of an undeclared allergen reaching consumers or failing a retailer audit.
The results
Every allergen declaration is version
controlled and retained in Food Trace
giving your team complete traceability
across every supplier product for any
audit or incident investigation.
Instant alerts on supplier spec changes
mean your technical team is notified the
moment a formulation or allergen status
changes before it becomes a labelling
or safety risk.
With spec changes submitted and
reviewed in the platform, Food Trace
customers complete allergen and spec
reviews significantly faster than with
email-based processes.
