Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

This standard systematically constructs a data management framework covering the entire life cycle of food production for the first time, including 7 major types of data sources and 19 standardized data table templates.

• Data authenticity requirements: Mandatory use of blockchain or timestamp technology to ensure that data cannot be tampered with• Traceability granularity: Refine to the process parameter records of a single batch of raw and auxiliary materials and production equipment

Key Points for Data Management of Special Foods

For special foods such as health foods and infant formula milk powder, the standard requires:

1. Digitalization of functional ingredients: The content and stability data of active ingredients must be recorded2. Dual-track registration: The registration number and filing number of health foods must be filed at the same time3. Process validation: Special medical purpose formula foods need to keep the original process validation data.

Implementation suggestions

1. Establish a data center to integrate production ERP, MES, and LIMS system data
2. Refer to Appendix B to design database fields to ensure linkage with SC license information
3. Implement a double backup mechanism for critical control point (CCP) data
4. Regularly conduct data metadata quality audits (recommended frequency: quarterly)
