Traceability Audit Checklist

by Ken Crowther, from the Community

10+

Conduct a complete traceability audit to follow raw materials and primary packaging from source through processing, packing, and distribution. This checklist helps confirm batch codes, date coding, labeling, temperatures, storage, and transport details. Verify records, identify nonconformances, attach photos, and document corrective actions to support recalls readiness and compliance with food safety standards.

SOP 3.3.1 Traceability in Food Production
Ensure end-to-end traceability of raw materials and primary packaging across production. This SOP guides batch coding, labeling checks, temperature control, contamination checks, and documentation from intake to dispatch. Apply it to strengthen compliance with food safety standards, support recalls, and improve visibility across processing, packing, storage, and distribution.

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.

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.

Control of Suppliers and Raw Materials Traceability
This SOP template supports control of suppliers and incoming raw materials for food operations. It guides teams to verify approved suppliers, capture delivery details and batch codes, check chilled and frozen temperatures, review packaging and labeling, assess vehicle hygiene, and document nonconformances. Use it to maintain procurement traceability and compliance with SALSA and food safety requirements, reducing the risk of contamination before production.
