FSMA Site Inspections Start in 2016

Food and Beverage, General posted by Diagraph

Are you prepared to move quickly to meet the new standards set to be released by the FDA by the end of this year? The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011 gives the FDA broad powers to closely inspect food manufacturers and enforce strict traceability standards across the industry. Legally mandated facility inspections will start in 2016.

Here is what we know:

Through FSMA, the FDA is charged with preventing outbreaks of foodborne illnesses, can require mass food recalls and has expanded authority to inspect imported foods.
The FDA has already released draft proposals for its key rules scheduled to be officially issued in phases:
- August 30, 2015 - Preventative Controls
- October 31, 2015 - Imported Food & Foreign Suppliers
- March 31, 2015 - Food Transportation
- May 31, 2015 - Intentional Adulteration of Food
The new rules mandate manufactures to be able to track and trace all ingredients, including imported ingredients, through nearly every step of the supply chain. Having marking and coding technologies in place that are flexible and scalable is a must moving forward.

Overcoming the daily challenges of pigmented ink printing Posted 11 months ago
Using pigmented ink in printers, especially ‘white ink’, often presents daily challenges compared to standard dye-based ink printers that result in more downtime. These challenges often include more frequent servicing and daily cleaning.
Avoid Labeling Mistakes by Removing Plant Air Posted last year
All-electric label applicators revolutionize the packaging industry by eliminating the reliance on plant air, providing precise applicator control for consistent and accurate label placement and ensuring secure label control for various label sizes.
Is training production line workers creating a challenge? No problem! Posted 8 years ago
Companies rely on engineers or technicians to keep production lines up and running. These job functions are essential to hitting production targets, so it is key that their skill level on equipment is proficient. When making the decision to replace this equipment, the amount of time and money that will have to be invested in training your labor is a major deciding factor.
Don’t let fast drying ink slow down your CIJ coding process Posted 2 years ago
Continuous inkjet printers (CIJ) use super-fast drying solvent-based inks. One of the technology challenges presented by these inks is that they aren’t too particular wherethey dry. With CIJ technology, the formation of drops from an inkjet stream creates a mist (or satellite drops) which builds up a layer of ink over time on the components inside the CIJ print head, causing print failure. Routine cleaning of ink with solvent from the components in a print head is required to maintain best print quality and uptime.
How do I get labels to stick in hot and humid environments? Posted 5 years ago
Something to be aware of when considering using labeling for product identification in a hot or humid environment is that labels are sensitive to temperature, making facility environment temperature a determining factor in choosing what label material to use on a product.
