BIT has developed a mostly non-computerized approach to establishing a system of ingredient control for ingredient lot number and batch tracking. It is not necessarily just for FDA purposes because it really makes sound business sense to manage batching effectively and to embed ingredient tracking in the production processes.

"We Have A PROVEN Lot Tracking System That Pays For Itself."

BIT's Batch and Ingredient Lot Tracking Solution was originally designed as a quality assurance and batch tracking system, however with the advent of the Bioterrorism Act only minor modifications were needed to help food and baking companies of all sizes meet the FDA's new record keeping requirements of Title III of the Bioterrorism Act. These FDA regulations are to insure that in case of contamination or poisoning involving our food supply the FDA will be able to trace the suspected lot upstream to the source of the problem and then again downstream to all affected destinations. With the passing of this new act the FDA requires that each food plant keep records of which ingredient lot numbers went into which products, the source of the ingredients and where the finished products were delivered. The FDA refers to this one link up and one link down the supply chain as the immediate previous source, IPS and the immediate subsequent receipt, ISR. In the case of an investigation the FDA agent will make all the other connections up and down the entire effected supply chain but every link in the chain must be able to supply that information in a matter of hours.

Below are some of the Ingredient Lot Tracking Software and Hardware Solutions offered by BIT Corp. Some of the software systems also include Ingredient Batching Software for PLC controlled food processing.
