Food Traceability
A food business operator must establish and maintain a method of tracing food used by the business. The following must apply:
- Food business operators shall be able to trace food one step back, to the supplier and one step forward to the customer. A food business is not required to identify customers if they are the final consumers of the food.
- All foodstuff and packaging (if applicable) entering a food business shall be traceable to the supplier. In order to comply with this requirement, the food business operator shall retain records of:
- Supplier name and address.
- Delivery dates.
- Food type
- Temperature Control during transport
- Evidence should be available to demonstrate that foods are maintained at the correct temperatures during transport and at delivery to customer or a service point.
