Harps Food Stores Selects and Implements ADC’s P-Cubed Meat Grind Traceability Manager

ADC announces that Harps Food Stores, a 80 store grocery chain headquartered in Springdale, Arkansas, has selected and implemented ADC’s P-Cubed Meat Grind Traceability Manager.

The P-Cubed Meat Grind Traceability Manager provides an electronic traceability record for all meat that is ground in Harps Food Stores, with sanitation records for the meat grinder equipment. 

“We are very happy with the implementation of ADC’s Meat Grind Traceability Manager in our stores, as it has been very easy for our associates to use on a daily basis,” said Layne Chastain, Director of Meat and Seafood Operations at Harps Food Stores.  “Additionally, the information collected allows us to maintain the required, detailed records for ground meat by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)*.” 

With the P-Cubed Meat Grind Traceability Manager, meat department associates use wireless handheld scanners to scan the barcodes of supplied meat, as it is included in each batch of grind.  Traceability of grind content data is retained in a centralized repository at Harps Food Stores headquarters and is available for inquiry and reporting through PDF or exported to Excel for distribution or further review. 

The P-Cubed Meat Grind Traceability Manager is part of the P-Cubed Production Manager system.  The P-Cubed Production Manager provides grocery, food service and convenience store chains increased visibility of food item movements within their fresh food departments.  The P-Cubed Production Manager is one of the three systems that comprise ADC’s InterStore suite of Fresh Item Management Software.  The other two systems are the InterScale Scales Manager and the NutriGen Recipe manager.
