Food Safety Monitor is an AI worker that autonomously validates FSVP compliance and FSMA Rule 204 traceability.
It processes thousands of HACCP plans and lab reports per hour, tracks CTEs and KDEs across the supply chain, and reduces inspection cycles by 60%.
What is Food Safety Monitor?
- 24/7 Virtual QA Department. FSMA made importers legally responsible for verifying foreign suppliers meet US public health standards. This agent manages thousands of HACCP plans, lab reports, and GMP certificates arriving in various languages-validating thousands of documents per hour, a task consuming weeks of human labor.
- Intelligent Document Processing. Uses OCR and NLP to "read" safety certificates. Checks expiration dates, verifies certificate scope covers actual products, cross-references lab results against maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides and heavy metals. Neural machine translation handles foreign language documents.
- FSMA Rule 204 Traceability. Maps food products "farm to fork" linking Critical Tracking Events (CTEs) and Key Data Elements (KDEs). Creates immutable "Digital Twin" of product journeys via ERP and cold chain IoT integration. Enables surgical recall response vs. chaotic manual searches.
- Continuous Audit Readiness. Helps importers secure "Green Lane" status with customs, reducing physical inspection frequency. Shifts QA teams from "document chasing" to supplier development and risk management.
Replaces:
- Manual QA emailing suppliers for HACCP plans and certificates.
- Static Excel expiry tracking with automated monitoring.
- Manual label review with AI-driven nutritional/allergen verification.
- Chaotic recall lot code searches with instant traceability queries.
- Annual vendor scorecards with real-time compliance scoring.

Why Food Safety Monitor?
- Reduce Inspection Time by 60%. Computer vision defect detection and automated document validation cut inspection cycles by 60%. Fresh produce reaches shelves with maximum remaining shelf life.
- Mitigate Regulatory Risk. Identifies compliance gaps (missing FSVP agent designation, expired facility registration) before goods ship. Prevents product seizures, import alerts, and registration suspension.
- Automate FSVP Compliance. Monitors FDA import alerts, warning letters, and refusal notifications. Creates audit-ready dossiers for every supplier without human intervention or team expansion.
- Ensure End-to-End Traceability. Automates KDE collection at every CTE. Seamless digital thread from foreign farm to domestic distribution center enables rapid, precise recalls.
How It Works
Workflow Automation
How Food Safety Monitor integrates with your systems
Triggered by an import event, pulls supplier certifications, uses AI to assess food safety risk against FDA rules, validates compliance, and generates an FSVP record.
- Intelligent Document Ingestion. Ingests documents via email, portals, or API. Uses IDP to handle PDFs, scans, and Excel files. Extracts supplier names, facility numbers, product descriptions, lab results.
- Automated Validation. Cross-references against FDA registration database and import alerts. Neural machine translation for foreign documents. Verifies lab results within safety limits.
- Dynamic Risk Scoring. Calculates supplier/shipment risk scores. Monitors for "data drift" and regulatory alerts. Places digital holds on non-compliant inventory.
- Audit Trail Generation. Creates immutable audit-ready ledger. Retrieves complete safety history of any batch in seconds.
