Hi everyone.
Has anyone any experience and/or best practice recommendations around capturing traceability for bulk, free-flowing commodities that storage constraints may mean silos need to be 'topped up' by successive consignments?
One approach I've seen is to take a measure of the resident volume and the frequencies of replenishments (e.g. four per annum) and calculate how many consignments back any traceability may have to consider to confidently capture all of any implicated materials.
Admittedly, under this scenario, the scope and complexity of any given trace challenge is greatly enlarged, but it would be good to know if anyone is aware of any kind of standard protocol that is recognized within the food ingredients sector?
Thank you.
