Get into the Grind: Meat Grind Traceability

ADC’s Meat Grind Traceability Manager software module provides a record for all meat that is ground in a meat department. By scanning and recording the different suppliers of ground meat, accurate labels are generated to provide easy traceability and reporting to stores if and when a contamination occurs. 

The Meat Grind Management Traceability software allows companies to quickly and accurately respond to recalls when they happen. Centrally logging records of every lug of meat that is ground allows for reports to be pulled with ease and can ensure grocery stores are in compliance with USDA Food Safety and Inspection Services (FSIS) Directives.

Current meat logging records are typically kept by hand on a clipboard and have to be filed away at the end of each day.  The opportunity for human error is high and if a recall occurs, response time is slow and costly because if no record is available, all meat in a meat case must be disposed of.

With the software, meat cutters scan the barcodes on primals to record the name of the supplying establishment(s), supplier lot number(s), production date and name of supplied material(s).  This information is embedded into the GS1-128 bar-code that is on each label. Therefore, when a contamination occurs, grocery stores can quickly pull the P-Cubed Grinding Log Report to assess what portion of their meat is part of the recall.
