Presenter: Noah Hersey
Moving from paper-based to digital systems is essential for modern food safety compliance and operational efficiency. This webinar will delve into the selection, implementation, and management of electronic record-keeping systems that meet FDA FSMA, GFSI, and other regulatory requirements. Topics will include data integrity principles (ALCOA+), system validation, cloud versus on-premise solutions, user access controls, and audit trails. Practical case studies will demonstrate how digital tools can streamline tasks like lot tracking, temperature monitoring, and corrective action documentation, while reducing human error and improving traceability during recalls.
