ScoringAg
Technology has recently come the front of agriculture safety. From time-to-time, the government recognizes the need to protect the public from diseased produce and fruit. The immediate challenge is quality testing and tracking methods for early detection of salmonella contamination. Additionally, efficient tracking subsequent to early detection potentially thwarts salmonella casualties by providing "field to fork" tracking. Imagine having instant information tracing your food on the table to the field it was produced in. Additionally, tracking where the see was produced. Systems Consulting introduces ScoringAg, a cloud based software completely customized for your select product and handling from the seed producer to the fork.
The United States Food and Drug Administration begins the Federal Registry process beginning October 1, 2012. Many feel there is a lack of preparedness and education for the producers to fully comply. While this may be true, Washington has made it clear they expect the FDA to push this program into place or face legal action. For producers failing to meet new sanitation compliance and documentation failures along the supply chain face additional penalties enforced under the code. The fines can be very costly expenses to the producer.
