The HACCP plan as something that executes

The HACCP plan as something that executes, not something that sits in a binder. Every critical control point monitored at the frequency the plan specifies, every corrective action bound to the product it affected, and every lot traceable end to end. Validation-ready for FSSAI Schedule 4, FSSC 22000 and 21 CFR Part 117, and kept current with regulatory change as part of the product, at no extra cost.

A critical control point that was not recorded was not monitored

That is the argument every food auditor makes, and it is the one most plants lose. Your team checks the temperature. The question at audit is whether anyone can prove it, at what frequency, against a validated limit, with the corrective action attached when it drifted and the affected product held.

The 2020 revision of Codex put validation into principles three and six, which means a critical limit now has to be justified, not just set. Underneath the statutory floor sits a commercial ceiling: FSSC 22000 or BRCGS is what your buyer demands, and it is usually stricter than the law.

The controls below run on the same compliance engine every industry uses.

Built for you

What's tailored for food & beverage

Not just compliance mapping — here's where the modules themselves work differently for this industry.

Quality

The HACCP plan lives as an executable object — CCP monitoring tasks are issued at the frequency the plan specifies, to a named owner, and a missed check raises a deviation automatically.

Inventory

Allergen status travels with the material, with changeover and cleaning enforced between incompatible runs.

CAPA

A mock recall runs as a scheduled exercise, producing the trace, the reconciliation and the elapsed time as a record — not a fire drill.

20 controls, 6 standards

Select a standard to filter

Append-only, hash-chained audit trail capturing old value, new value, author, time and reason
HACCP plan as an executable object, with hazards, control measures, CCPs and validated critical limits held as records
CCP monitoring tasks issued at the frequency the plan specifies, to a named owner
A missed check raises a deviation automatically, rather than surfacing as a blank cell at verification
Corrective action bound to affected product, with the batch or time window held and the disposition recorded
Prerequisite programme records covering hygiene, pest control, sanitation and maintenance
Allergen status travelling with the material, with changeover and cleaning enforced between incompatible runs
Allergen declaration checked against actual formulation, across the eight Indian, nine US and fourteen EU lists
Traceability lot codes carried end to end, received, retained through transformation and passed on
One-up, one-back supplier and customer records on every lot
Mock recall as a scheduled exercise, producing the trace, the reconciliation and the elapsed time as a record
Recall plan with classification, notification and effectiveness checks
Role-based access control, down to the individual field
Segregation of duties enforced in the system, maker is never checker
FoSTaC supervisor ratios tracked live, one certified supervisor per 25 food handlers or part thereof
Training tied to document version, reassigned on every revision
Supplier approval and incoming material verification with certificate capture
Calibration of monitoring equipment blocking the stage when overdue
Environmental and product testing scheduled, with results attached to the lot
Automated redundant backup with point-in-time disaster recovery

Working draft, not a certified mapping — our own reading of each framework's published scope, not a legal determination.

Regulatory change

We watch the regulations so you don't have to

Standards don't stay still. The Compliance Engine tracks every one that applies to you: when a rule changes, it tells you what it affects, updates the system, and re-validates before anything goes live. You don't file a change request. It's already handled.

Applied· 2020

Codex validation requirement built in

The 2020 revision's principles three and six — a critical limit has to be justified, not just set — were folded into CCP monitoring before FSSC 22000 and BRCGS auditors started asking for it.

Applied· 1 Apr 2026

FSSAI licensing turnover tiers reset

Basic registration runs to ₹1.5 crore, state licence from ₹1.5 crore to ₹50 crore, central licence above ₹50 crore.

FSMA 204 compliance deadline

For foods on the Food Traceability List.

Every update runs through the same validation discipline as the platform itself — tested against the workflows it touches before it reaches a single client's floor. Nothing ships because a regulation changed; it ships because the change passed.

Detail

Traceability, precisely

There are two obligations here and they are routinely confused.

One up, one back is the baseline everywhere. India under the FSS Act framework, the United States under 21 CFR Part 1 Subpart J, and the European Union under Regulation 178/2002 Article 18. You must know your immediate supplier and your immediate customer.
FSMA 204 goes further for listed foods. The traceability lot code has to survive the whole chain, which means it must be received, retained through transformation and passed on. That is a data discipline problem, and it is the one that catches manufacturers out.
The 24-hour test is what the rule actually measures. FDA can ask for an electronic sortable spreadsheet covering critical tracking events and key data elements, and it has to arrive within a day. In Factro that is an export, not a fortnight of reconstruction.

Validation readiness

The controls above are enforced in the architecture, not configured on top of it.

  • Validation packs (URS, IQ, OQ, PQ, RTM, GAMP 5) are available on the Dedicated tier.
  • ISO 27001 certification is in progress.
  • Inspection readiness is scored continuously by the Compliance Engine, not assembled the week before an audit.

For the technical detail behind these controls — encryption, access control, audit trail mechanics and backups — see Infrastructure & Security. For what sits in each workspace, see Modules.
