FDA compliance and lot traceability from intake to shipment.

FDA 21 CFR Part 11. HACCP. SQF. FSMA one-up one-back. Cortrova ties electronic records, CCP monitoring, supplier quality, and recall workflows into one system. When the call comes, the affected lots are already mapped.

Lot Traceability

Five stages. One trace.

Every lot moves through the same five stages: receipt, batch, hold and release, distribution, customer. Cortrova captures the linkages forward and backward at every stage. Forward shows what a contaminated raw material became. Backward shows where a customer complaint came from.

Forward trace Material to consumer A failed COA on receipt instantly maps every downstream batch, every shipment, every customer that received the affected raw material.
Backward trace Complaint to source A consumer complaint resolves backward to the exact lot, the exact batch, the exact raw material supplier, with full COA history.

FDA and HACCP

Two frameworks. One platform.

FDA 21 CFR Part 11 governs electronic records and signatures. HACCP governs the food safety process. Both touch every batch you make. Cortrova supports the controls of each natively, so audit prep is a query, not a six-week scramble.

Mock Recall

From contaminated lot to full impact map.

A simulated recall on a contaminated raw material lot. Cortrova traces the cascade: which batches consumed it, which finished SKUs they produced, which distribution centers shipped them, which retail customers received them. The full impact map renders in seconds.
