Recall after Recall ......

[doctorhubbard]

These recalls have gotten absurd within the past 24 months. Never have there been as many food recalls in such a short period of time in recorded statistical history. Things have to be done to rectify this trend of non-compliance within the the processing establishments, as well as within the encompassing factors of verification circumscribing the overall USDA system.

Mandatory point-to point traceability would be a good start. After this is in place, a re-structuring of the erroneous protocols not founded upon science-based evidence would be an essential endeavor. This thereby would eliminate the obtuse theories in current practice by our exalted overlords and renegotiate avenues of validity underlined by factual data and the application thereof.

I see that ,Your Quote ; Having a ScoringAg traceback system in place provides needed information within seconds by knowing the audited path of handlers and packers whether from the initial production field or from commingling of other fields to the final package that the consumer buys.

Are you a DVM ?Have you started up a packing plant with ScoringAg? What kind of response did you get . If so started where do they source their animals ,local or far away ? Do you expect to work with retailers also on the COOL Law?

Porker,

Yes, I have been in the animal health and agricultural industry for most of my life. As far as ScoringAg, I have implemented a processing establishment and know of other whom also use this system. It works great. There is no paperwork involved. It is all electronic with a database that is compliant with federal regulations, thereby, lessening the various unwelcome attentions drawn to an establishment during an official audit. This system will make an audit run more smoothly than typical paperwork, therefore, the officials will have less need for spending time at an establishment during their review.

As far as the livestock suppliers, as I know it now, they are all being currently informed that they will have to be comply with COOL by passing the individual information onto the packing plant.

With retailers, I have an individual on my staff who is familiar with the overall aspects of retail. Feel free to telephone him. His name is Patrick Keener. His telephone number is (404) 384-5869.

I hope this addressed your issues.

Big Muddy, I see him too on the website, Iam not a official representative but, you can see that some have different titles . Many have their own companies. ScoringSystem has many divisions and layers of products with reps working those specific enterprises. ScoringAg is the one database system that solves the COOL law from field to fork, recordkeeping to compliance nomatter which side of the border you are on.

There can be no doubt that implementing mandatory country-of-origin labeling is going to pose unique challenges to farmers, ranchers, packers and retailers," Dewey Maroney, the vice president of the California-based Raley's grocery store chain, advised the department during public comments.
