A supplier flags an undeclared allergen.Every finished lot it reached is on hold.

Built for mid-market food manufacturers, co-packers, and contract manufacturers under FSMA preventive controls and a GFSI scheme, where every deviation, allergen-control record, and hold decision has to stay traceable across food safety, operations, and supplier quality, and survive a surveillance audit or a recall.

Built for FSMA-regulated, GFSI-certified food makers

  • FSMA · 21 CFR 117
  • HACCP
  • SQF
  • BRCGS
  • FSSC 22000

The decision lives in the thread, not the food safety plan.

Incumbents track a status field. Unifize reconstructs the decision trace across every function a deviation touched: the corrective action, the verification, and the reasoning an auditor actually asks for.

When the auditor is on the floor, someone reconstructs it.

The reconstruction always lands on someone. Find your seat, and see what you own when the trace has to hold up at a GFSI surveillance audit or an FDA recall.

Food Safety & Quality

Every deviation, corrective action, and release decision stays reconstructable.

Plant Operations

Cross-functional hold and disposition decisions move on one accountable thread.

Regulatory & Label Compliance

Allergen statements, label claims, and Reportable Food Registry obligations stay current and traceable.

Food Safety & Audit

HACCP validation, environmental monitoring, and audit findings are captured where they happen.

See the compliance solution →

R&D / Product Development

Recipe and formulation changes move fast with their hazard analysis and validation sealed to the record.

Deviations, suppliers, the floor, recalls. One trace.

Each runs with FSMA, HACCP and your GFSI scheme built in. Start with the one that costs you most.

Food Safety & Quality

From the deviation on the line to a corrective action closed before the next surveillance audit.

  • Deviation / Nonconformance
  • Corrective Action
  • Hold & Disposition
  • Audit Findings

Supplier Management

COAs and letters of guarantee checked against spec and tied to the lot they cleared.

  • Supplier Verification Program
  • COA & Letter of Guarantee
  • Supplier Corrective Action

Operations

Environmental monitoring and allergen swab positives, and the holds they force, decided on a trail, not an escalation call.

  • Environmental Monitoring
  • Production Hold Disposition

Post-Market & Recall

Recall, mock recall and the RFR decision coordinated as one event under the clock.

  • Recall Plan & Mock Recall
  • Reportable Food Registry

Built to sit beside the systems that already run your plant, not to replace them.

  • Coexistence, not replacement

    Unifize sits alongside the ERP, QMS, LIMS, and EHS you already run, and replaces the ungoverned channels where the corrective-action trace goes missing. Many manufacturers still run these processes on spreadsheets today; Unifize lands there without a full system displacement.

  • Auditable e-signatures

    Every approval is captured as an attributable, time-stamped electronic signature, so the decision trace is the audit trail a GFSI surveillance audit or a retailer program asks for, not a reconstruction assembled the week before.

  • FSMA and GFSI questions, answered directly

    Food safety plan control, corrective-action rigor, supplier verification depth, and environmental-monitoring posture are walked through with your team before anything touches a controlled record.

The moments that start a clock you don't control.

Statutory and customer deadlines, not internal outcomes. Each one routes to the process that answers it and the team that owns the response.

The cost is real. It just never lands on a line you can see.

Coordination tax, per company per year

$0.4Mto$4.1M

Paid in chasing, handoffs and rework, one coordination event at a time. No budget line carries it, so nobody owns it. Modeled across 129 companies in the segment.

Pick a deviation or corrective action you could not replay at the last audit. We will reconstruct it live.
