Batch traceability

From the batch on the note to the plate.

Food traceability (Article 18 of Regulation (EC) 178/2002) means knowing who you got a product from and where it went. Cambusa builds it from the delivery note: batches enter stock read from a photo and stay linked to every preparation that uses them.

One batch, one history

Every batch that comes in has a supplier, an arrival date and a use-by date. When you prepare, the batch you use stays written in the preparation, and the container gets its own label with batch and allergens.

When a supplier recalls a batch

Type the number: you see when it arrived, who sent it and which preparations it went into. You pull only what you need from service, not the whole fridge.

The consultant can run the same search across every kitchen they follow, without phoning anyone. Each kitchen still sees only its own data.

No extra work

Traceability isn’t one more log to fill in: it comes from the delivery note you would have had to file anyway.

Frequently asked questions

What is traceability in a kitchen?

It’s being able to reconstruct where a product came from and which preparations it was used in. The European reference is Article 18 of Regulation (EC) 178/2002.

How do I find a recalled batch?

Search the batch number in stock: Cambusa shows the arrival, the supplier and the preparations it went into.

Can I search a batch across several kitchens?

Yes, from the consultant’s portal the search covers every kitchen they follow. Each kitchen sees only its own data.

A serious kitchen isn’t one where nothing goes wrong. It’s one that can prove what happened.
