ScoringAg Introduces Item-level Traceability

ScoringAg is a worldwide web-based computer database system that offer’s retailers access to extensive traceback records, pictures, and videos to prove Country of Origin for item level individual and commingled foods.

This gives retailers Country of Origin (COOL) law compliance labeling, and documented audit trails, and consumer’s peace of mind with the speed of a mouse click. A unique SSI-EID item level code that displays public information of real time product data can be applied to every clamshell, case, bin, container, single fruit or vegetable, package of meats or meat products, as well as all other grocery products and ingredients.

Using ScoringAg traceback product code, automatically created inside the database using 2D barcodes, printed on a label with or without RFID, for every clamshell or product, gives the food handlers at all levels of the distribution chain the audit trail and Source Verification of Country of Origin, certifications, good agricultural practices performed and field audits in real time. There is no need to wait for an audit or certification information after the fact for traceability from food chain suppliers and handlers. ScoringAg is the only worldwide standardized record keeping system where the document records move with the product through its coded PIDC location and unique labeling system.

ScoringAg records enable wholesalers, retailers, restaurant chefs, and consumers to decide what country of origin, and quality of purchases they want. As the records in the ScoringAg database can't be falsified or changed once data is entered, there is a true documentation and a source verification of all product movements. The consumer can retrieve the public information via a store or home computer or internet cell phone.

HACPP, GAP’s, BMP’s, FDA Bio-Terrorism rules, field audits, and other food safety quality control system documents of conventional, natural, and organic grown products with all kinds of certifications, mostly at the producer, processor, and importer levels are great, but they don’t prevent recalls as recent events have shown. Certifications, lot numbers, and branded labels do not provide an item level coding for traceback of documents from grocers shelves to the field or source production site audits in real time. Third party certification’s, BMP and GAP field audit’s with the ScoringAg’s audit trail verification record keeping system regains consumer confidence while providing full item level traceability in seconds. Recalls if needed are site-specific, time-specific, handler-specific and item-specific as to not disrupt the total food chain supply as to what happened in the spinach, produce, and the latest meat and food product recalls.

The industry does not need more food safety laws, government regulations, what it needs is a effective real time database that sellers and buyers see traceability data that’s needed to comply with regulations within seconds as provided by ScoringAg. What is needed is a time stamped database with daily documentations to prove compliance throughout all of the complete food supply chain of activities, including transportation and warehousing as built and provided by ScoringAg.

Having a ScoringAg traceback system in place provides needed information within seconds by knowing the audited path of handlers and packers whether from the initial production field or from commingling of other fields to the final package that the consumer buys.

Food growers, importers, and processors along with retailers will now face the toughest questions of food origin and quality. 90%+ of the consumers want to know where the food comes from. The biggest challenges for the Retailer and Restaurants now is to renew confidence and loyalty to their customers with products featuring searchable ScoringAg traceback codes.

ScoringAg's traceback and trace up system for all agriculture products, featuring Site-Specific Recordkeeping and PIDC location codes, is one of the many divisions of ScoringSystem, Inc., located in Bradenton, Florida USA. The company specializes in providing solutions with mobile data, via wireless PDA's, laptops, and Semacode programmed internet ready Nokia, Siemens, and Sony Ericsson cell phones. SSI-EID food code searches can be done thru these other web sites, http://www.traceback.com/ and http://www.scoringrestaurants.com/ to display public product records. With the use of RFID codes, SSI-EID label codes, and 2-D barcodes for trace up and traceback of livestock and crops, produce, ingredients, tracking transport containers or perishable meats and other consumer goods, http://www.scoringag.com/ and http://www.scoringcontainers.com/ makes managing data easier and does it in an extremely low cost effective manner.
