Over Two Decades of Proven Meat Industry Expertise

Traceability That Pays Off Across Meat Operations

Put every lot, carcass, and shipment under control. With traceability built into daily operations, your plant runs safer, faster, and more accountable.

Faster, Accurate Lot-to-Product Trace

Trace ribeye, trim, or ground beef lots back to the carcass and supplier within seconds.

Link carcass lots, COAs, and yields directly to supplying feedlots, ensuring supplier accountability across operations.

Monitor carcass chillers and reefer routes continuously, with deviations automatically linked to specific product lots.

Capture exact loin, rib, and grind weights; auto-reconcile inventory, pricing, and GS1 label compliance rules.

Manage cooler and freezer lots by production date and shelf-life rules, enforce FEFO picking, and flag ageing product before it risks shrink, compliance failure, or recall exposure.

Compare carcass input to primal and trim outputs, uncover shrink, and monitor supplier-specific yield performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is meat traceability software, and how does it ensure full visibility from slaughter to packaged product?

Meat traceability solution creates a digital record of every step in production. It starts with carcass identification at slaughter, follows each lot through fabrication and packaging, and links cold storage data before shipment. This continuous chain of records gives processors complete visibility, making audits, recalls, and daily management far more reliable.

Folio3 FoodTech’s system connects with the tools plants use, scales, scanners, and line equipment. Each carcass tag or lot ID is automatically recorded as product moves through cutting, grinding, packaging, and storage. Because the data is linked in one system, processors can trace a finished box of product back to its original source in seconds.

Regulators require processors to maintain accurate records that show where a product came from and where it went. That means keeping lot IDs, production dates, packaging details, and cold chain information tied together in one system. USDA and FDA rules also emphasize being able to recall product quickly, keep HACCP documentation updated, and prove that labels and claims match the product shipped.

The software checks that weights, labels, and packaging match the right lot before the product leaves the floor. If there’s a mismatch, it flags it immediately so corrections can be made on the spot. It also stores audit trails and HACCP records in one place, helping plants avoid penalties and handle recall situations with confidence.

Traceability doesn’t stop with boxed products. It also tracks what happens to trim, offal, hides, and other by-products. By recording where these materials go and how they’re used, processors reduce waste, capture more value, and stay compliant with reporting requirements. This makes the entire operation more efficient and sustainable.

A meat traceability solution creates a shared record that follows each lot from farm through processing, distribution, and retail. By capturing data at every handoff, carcass tags, packaging IDs, transport scans, and delivery confirmations, all parties can view the same information in real time. This makes the meat traceability system in supply chain faster, more transparent, and far easier to manage during recalls or audits.

Digital traceability proves where meat came from and how it was handled at each step. Retailers gain confidence because they can verify supplier records, shelf-life status, and safety compliance. Consumers trust brands more when QR codes, labels, or certifications are backed by real traceability data, showing that products are safe, authentic, and responsibly sourced.

Folio3 FoodTech’s meat traceability solutions are built to integrate seamlessly with existing plant and business systems. That includes ERP platforms for finance and planning, WMS for warehouse movements, MES for production data, and automated labeling systems for catch-weights and compliance. These integrations reduce duplicate entry, keep records consistent, and provide one connected view of the entire plant.

ROI is measured in both risk reduction and operational gains. Faster recalls lower financial and reputational losses, while precise lot tracking reduces shrinkage by stopping expired or misrouted product. Yield recovery comes from better monitoring of trim, by-products, and pack weights. Together, these improvements quickly offset software investment and create measurable cost savings year after year.
