Nulogy launched Nulogy Track and Trace, a new module that helps food distributors, manufacturers, packagers, and retailers capture, link, and retrieve lot-level records and respond to an FDA request within 24 hours.
"For most food companies, the traceability data is scattered across systems, sites, and partners. FSMA 204 is really about pulling it into one lot-level record you can produce on demand," says Kevin Donaghy, innovation officer, quality and compliance, Nulogy. "The hardest lots to trace are the ones built from many suppliers and changed along the way, and by hand those can take weeks. We built Track and Trace to do that in minutes, so our customers are ready well before 2028."
Key takeaways:
· Nulogy Quality & Compliance, Track and Trace records every traceability event as goods are received, transformed, and shipped, whether that data is captured directly in Nulogy or pulled from a company's existing enterprise system.
· It creates the Critical Tracking Event (CTE) records the rule requires, generates and links Traceability Lot Codes (TLCs) automatically, and keeps every event in one searchable register. When the FDA asks, a company can trace any lot in both directions and produce the sortable file in minutes, instead of the days it takes to rebuild a lot by hand.
· The CTE Register combines every shipping, receiving, and transformation event in one register, searchable instantly by lot code, product, supplier, or customer.
· 24-Hour Sortable Export produces the FDA's electronic sortable spreadsheet for any lot, product, date range, or partner, in minutes.
· Flexible Data Capture enables users to enter traceability data directly in Nulogy, pull it from connected ERP, WMS, and MES systems through Nulogy Connect, or both, so every Key Data Element (KDE) is captured once, at the source.
· Automated TLCs generate and link TLCs automatically when ingredients are combined or repacked.
