Receive ingredient lots
Capture supplier, lot code, item, quantity, date, expiry, certificates and receiving condition before release.
FOOD TRACEABILITY SOFTWARE
Food traceability software from ingredient lots to customer shipments
Trace one step back to ingredient sources and one step forward to finished lots and customers, while keeping holds and release evidence visible.
The example connects supplier lots to finished batches and customer shipments, with held inventory, expiry risk and recall actions already populated.
Free for up to five users. No credit card required.
Adapt fields, workflows, and dashboards without code. Explore 1,000+ app templates and use cases
The gallery shows populated sample data in the Jodoo App. Open any view to inspect the records and decisions, then install a copy to adapt the fields and workflow.

Preserve the chain through receiving, production and shipping
A finished lot should lead to every ingredient lot used; an ingredient lot should lead to every affected finished product and destination.
Record batch consumption
Select the actual ingredient lots and quantities used, including substitutions, partial containers and carryover where applicable.
Create finished-lot identity
Assign the output code, production context, quantity, checks and release state before it becomes available.
Link customer shipments
Reference finished lots on each shipment so a trace reaches destinations without comparing order and production exports.
Keep safety and quality signals connected to trace scope
The trace should help a team act when a certificate is missing, temperature is out of range or a complaint names a lot.
Allergen and formulation context
Keep relevant ingredient and product attributes available to reviewers without claiming that software replaces formulation control.
Hold before use
Prevent a pending or failed ingredient lot from appearing ready for production and show where any quantity remains.
Expiry and shelf life
Surface ingredients or finished lots approaching a critical date and record the resulting use, review or disposition.
Complaint or recall signal
Open a trace case from the reported product or lot, preserve the trigger and track the exact scope and actions.
Turn the drill into an actionable result
Record what was found, what remains uncertain and what must change.
| Question | Useful answer | Action if incomplete |
|---|---|---|
| Which source lots? | Named suppliers and ingredient lots with receipt evidence | Resolve missing receipt or identity links |
| Which finished lots? | Every output batch that consumed the ingredient | Review production consumption records |
| What remains? | Quantity and location of stock not yet shipped | Quarantine and physically reconcile |
| Who received it? | Shipment and destination list by finished lot | Resolve order or shipment linkage |
| Can the case close? | Actions verified and quantities reasonably reconciled | Keep the case open with an owner and due date |
Test the answer before an urgent event
A drill should reveal missing relationships and slow handoffs, not just produce a pass/fail label.
Choose a realistic starting point
Start from an ingredient lot, finished lot or customer shipment rather than a specially prepared clean example.
Trace both directions
Find sources, transformations, remaining stock and destinations, and note every manual gap.
Reconcile quantity
Compare received, consumed, produced, remaining, scrapped and shipped quantities enough to explain the scope.
Improve the weak link
Assign the field, workflow or integration change exposed by the drill and verify it on the next run.
Map each traceability event to the data your plan requires
For foods and activities in scope, the FDA Food Traceability Rule uses Critical Tracking Events (CTEs), Key Data Elements (KDEs) and traceability lot codes. Your traceability plan should define how your operation captures and maintains the required records.
Receiving event
Identify the food, traceability lot code, quantity and unit, immediate previous source, location, dates and the source reference your procedure requires.
Transformation event
Connect the incoming traceability lot codes and quantities to every new traceability lot code created by processing, packing or transformation.
Shipping event
Preserve the traceability lot code, quantity, unit, ship date, immediate subsequent recipient and location or reference needed to retrieve the shipment.
Traceability plan
Document the covered foods, recordkeeping procedures, location identifiers, lot-code assignment method, contact responsibilities and how records will be supplied when required.
WHY TEAMS BUILD THIS IN JODOO
Build the food trace your operation can maintain
Jodoo lets food teams configure lot capture, release tasks, production genealogy and recall dashboards without coding a bespoke system. The App can complement existing ERP, production or warehouse tools.
A practical ingredient-to-shipment workspace can be assembled in hours, then improved through real trace drills and operating experience.Match the form to the material
Show relevant certificate, temperature, allergen or shelf-life fields by product type instead of burdening every receipt.
Keep the release decision explicit
Quality reviewers receive an actual task and can release or return the record with a reason.
Adapt when products change
Add a co-manufacturer, new trace attribute or recall action view without starting another long software project.
Use a configurable traceability App where your process needs flexibility
Jodoo can support the records, tasks and evidence in a food traceability process. Software alone does not establish regulatory compliance or replace a documented food-safety system.
A strong fit
Operational teams that can identify lots, batches or serials and need to connect receiving, production, movement, shipment and follow-up without commissioning custom software.
Plan an integration
Connect ERP, MES, WMS, label printing or machine data when those systems remain the system of record for transactions or automated capture.
Where specialist systems still matter
The example is not a validated pharmaceutical eBR, a certified regulatory solution or automatic proof of compliance. Your controls, validation and governance still matter.
Questions about food traceability software
Can Jodoo support one-step-back and one-step-forward tracing?
Yes. Supplier and receipt records support the source side, while production genealogy and shipment records connect affected output to destinations. Your process must capture the identifiers consistently.
Does this make a business FSMA compliant?
No software automatically makes a business compliant. Jodoo can support traceability records and workflow, but the organization must determine applicable requirements, procedures, retention and validation.
Can the App track allergens and expiry dates?
Yes. Configure relevant item and lot attributes, conditional fields, expiry views and quality tasks. The business remains responsible for the underlying allergen and shelf-life controls.
Can we run a mock recall?
Yes. Create a trace case, time the backward and forward search, record gaps, reconcile scope and assign corrective actions without changing normal lot history.
