ADC ANNOUNCES MEAT GRIND TRACEABILITY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Tampa, Fla. (April 2, 2010) – Applied Data Corporation (ADC) announces the addition of the Meat Grind Traceability Manager module to their P-Cubed Fresh Item Management system software. Designed to help grocery stores meet USDA Food Safety and Inspection Services (FSIS) rules and regulations, ADC's new software offers traceability and data-logging protection to companies in the case of a ground meat contamination. ADC's Meat Grind Traceability Manager software module provides a record for all meat that is ground in a meat department. By scanning and recording the different supplies of ground meat, accurate labels are generated to provide easy traceability and reporting to stores if and when a contamination occurs. In addition to saving time and money compared to manual paper-based tracking systems, the Meat Grind Management Traceability software allows companies to quickly and accurately respond to recalls when they happen. Centrally logging records of every lug of meat that is ground allows for reports to be pulled with ease and can ensure grocery stores are in compliance with FSIS Directives. "Current meat logging records are typically kept by hand on a clipboard and have to be filed away at the end of each day," said ADC's Vice President of Development, Robert Appell. "The opportunity for human error is high and if a recall occurs, response time is slow and costly because if no record is available, all meat in a meat case must be disposed of." With ADC's Meat Grind Traceability Manager, meat cutters can scan the barcodes on primals to record the name of the supplying establishment(s), supplier lot number(s), production date and name of supplied material(s). This information is embedded into the GS1-128 bar-code that is on each label. Therefore, when a contamination occurs, grocery stores can quickly pull the P-Cubed Grinding Log Report to assess what portion of their meat is part of the recall. "As food safety legislation and regulations become more stringent, grocery stores need to be able to have systems and practices in place that allow them to quickly respond to any contaminations," said Steve Loveridge, President of ADC. "A reoccurring topic at recent trade conferences is achieving compliance with these food safety regulations. ADC's P-Cubed Software aims for just that. ADC is providing grocery stores with electronic tracking records with the aim of protecting customers, stores and employees from food contaminants."
