Overview
What is A Product Batch & Traceability Record?
A Product Batch & Traceability Record is a structured checklist that helps inspectors systematically verify compliance with the relevant standards or operational requirements. Completing the inspection on mobile produces a timestamped PDF that can be shared immediately with clients or management.
The checklist
Every checkpoint, in full
A read-only preview of the live template. Clone it to run the inspection on mobile, where each item records Pass, Fail or N·A with optional photos and notes.
Batch Identification
5 checksNOTENote on Usage
Based on FDA food-traceability and recordkeeping requirements (FSMA 204 / 21 CFR Part 1 Subpart S for listed foods; 21 CFR 117 records). Completing it does not guarantee recall readiness or traceability compliance. The facility remains responsible for its traceability plan, for assigning and linking lot codes, and for retaining and producing records within the required timeframe.

Field procedure
How to run this inspection
Walk the site area by area. Mark each checkpoint Pass, Fail or N·A as you go, and add a photo on any Fail to document it for the report.
