SOP 3.3.1 Traceability - Production
This SOP template supports end to end product traceability in production. It guides teams to track raw materials and primary packaging from supplier receipt through processing, packaging, storage, and distribution. Use it to record batch and lot codes, date coding, quantities, weights, and packaging checks, including sealing and labeling accuracy. It includes quality checks such as organoleptic assessments and verification that products are free from physical, chemical, and microbiological contaminants. Temperature controls for chillers, freezers, and blast chilling are captured to maintain cold chain integrity. The checklist helps build a complete audit trail for recalls, customer requirements, and regulatory compliance.
