30+

This checklist supports raw material identification and lot traceability in food manufacturing. It guides teams to photograph green stickers, capture batch numbers when labels are missing, and log details for a wide range of ingredients such as grains, flours, fibers, oils, spices, and premixes. Use it to standardize evidence collection, maintain accurate records, and verify compliance with QA and traceability requirements. The form includes space for photos, notes, and final sign-off to confirm all batch numbers are recorded.

Internal Audit Checklist for Traceability
Use this internal audit checklist to assess and document traceability across your manufacturing process. Verify identification and batch coding for raw materials, primary packaging, processing aids, work in progress, rework, and finished products. Capture supplier approvals and transfer certificates, test forward and backward traceability with mass balance exercises, and run periodic mock recalls. Cover identity preserved and provenance claims such as Organic or Lactose Free, ensure records are retained, and confirm traceability can be completed within required timeframes.
