Sausage Spice Batch Tracing
I recently started working in a facility that produces all types of sausage. I have extensive work if I plan to make it SQF certified. I am working step by step one department at a time. Right now the issue is with the spice room, they don't have a user friendly batch tracking system in place. I want to be able to trace product back in case it ever gets recalled or if a certain spice or ingredient for that matter has been recalled. I need to figure out how I can create a batch sheet that has the name of the product, product code, spices used and how much of it, lot numbers, raw material used , just anything that will be easy to trace and verify.
Templates and ideas are much appreciated. Thanks All.
Should be very straightforward batch record-----------in a perfect world, the spice blend comes in so a batch takes an entire unit (25lbs) and that makes it easier for traceability.

Our clients have used software for tracking and recipe manufacturing (for exact weights, counts, etc.) from www.focus-works.com - they do nice stuff.
