Meet government regulations. Maintain clean records. Build consumer trust.
NutraSoft gives small to large food and beverage manufacturers the records core food safety regulations ask for, without bolting on a separate system. Lot traceability, expiry control and supplier documents come with every manufacturing plan, and the Enterprise Quality Control app adds HACCP, CAPA, recalls and positive release, to help you meet requirements set by the FDA, CFIA, and Health Canada.
Sauces, baked goods, beverages, packaged spices: compliance isn't optional. NutraSoft handles the recordkeeping, lot tracking, expiry control, and product accountability that small to large food and beverage manufacturers need, without forcing you to hire a dedicated QA admin.
No paper binders. No manual spreadsheets. Just clean, digital logs and full inventory traceability.
Replace paper binders with digital records, and a searchable document library that flags expired certificates.
Meet baseline compliance requirements set by FDA, CFIA, and Health Canada.
Track every ingredient and product from supplier to customer with complete visibility.
On the Enterprise plan, record product checks during production, packaging, or receiving. Log pass/fail inspections, with notes on corrections and rework if needed. Assign QC responsibility by user, timestamped for traceability.
Track every lot of raw materials and packaging from intake to finished goods. Maintain a digital trail that connects supplier, batch, and customer order. Quickly identify affected products and customers in case of quality concerns or recalls, and print the trace as a PDF or export it to Excel.
Assign and monitor expiry dates on all perishable inventory. Use FEFO logic to ensure earliest-expiring inventory is used first. Expired lots are left out of lot allocation, and the expiring-lots view and an Expired badge flag them before shipping.
Print GS1-128 lot labels at receiving with the lot and expiry in the barcode, and barcodes on purchase orders, production sheets and packing slips. Scan labels during inventory counts to keep stock accurate. Eliminate hand-written logs and reduce recordkeeping errors.
Track every order from the moment it's created to final shipment. Document which lots were included in each sale or transfer. Print each batch's production sheet with the lots used per step, expiry and allergens, and store full logs for audits.
NutraSoft helps you comply with:
Food safety compliance software is only useful if it maps to the frameworks you are held to. Here is what each one asks for, and where NutraSoft holds the record.
Foods on the Food Traceability List need a traceability lot code that survives every critical tracking event, with key data elements captured at receiving, transformation and shipping. When the FDA asks, those records have to arrive as a sortable electronic spreadsheet within 24 hours. NutraSoft records the supplier's lot code on receipt, numbers each production lot and carries both through every transformation, and the trace exports to Excel, so the data behind that file already exists when the request comes.
A plan is only as strong as the monitoring behind it. On the Enterprise plan, NutraSoft builds a versioned HACCP plan scoped to a product or a product tag, records the Codex preliminaries, scores each hazard on a likelihood-by-severity matrix and walks it through the Codex 2022 decision tree. Monitoring checks are timestamped and attributed to the operator who ran them, so verification is a filter rather than a filing exercise.
US manufacturers need a written food safety plan covering process, allergen, sanitation and supply-chain controls, each with monitoring, corrective action and verification records behind it. On the Enterprise plan, a failed checkpoint opens a deviation without anyone remembering to, and once you switch the policy on, supplier approval is enforced at receiving so an unapproved lot cannot quietly enter production.
Canadian licence holders need a Preventive Control Plan and traceability one step forward and one step back. NutraSoft's lot records hold that trace in both directions, and on the Enterprise plan the prerequisite programs, sanitation schedules and calibration logs that support your PCP double as CFIA inspection evidence.
Benchmarked audits turn on document control: current versions, dated approvals and a clear trail of who changed what. On the Enterprise plan, specifications and HACCP plans are versioned, approvals are signed with a password and signed records are sealed, so audit preparation stops being a scramble through binders and shared drives.
Most software sold as food safety software is a digital form. A food safety management system is a different thing: it connects hazard controls to the production data underneath them, so a failed check leads straight to the lots it touched and the customers who received them.
That connection is the whole point. When a metal detector check fails at two in the afternoon, the useful question is not whether the check was logged. It is which lots ran since the last passing check, where those lots went, and what else drew on the same raw material. A standalone quality app cannot answer that, because it has no view of your production records.
NutraSoft keeps quality logs, lot genealogy, inventory and shipping on the same records. Affected downstream product assembles from forward genealogy on every manufacturing plan, and on Enterprise a deviation opens against the specific lot and a mock recall runs as a query instead of a two-day reconstruction. That is the difference between recording food safety and managing it.
HACCP is the headline, but audits are won or lost on the prerequisite programs underneath it. The Enterprise Quality Control app runs them on the same records as production, so a missed check has consequences in the system, not just on paper.
Pre-op checks are recorded before a line starts. With the policy switched on, an outstanding pre-op refuses the production start, so a skipped inspection cannot quietly become a shipped lot.
Cleaning tasks, frequencies and the approved chemical register live in one schedule. Operators sign off each task at the line, and overdue tasks surface before the auditor finds them.
Thermometers, scales and metal detectors sit in one equipment register with calibration, sanitation and maintenance on a single schedule. A failed calibration opens a non-conformance against the equipment.
Approval can be narrowed per material, not only set per company, so a supplier cleared for packaging film can still be held back on an allergen-bearing ingredient. With the policy switched on, supplier blocks stop unapproved material at receiving.
A failed check opens a non-conformance, classed as a deviation, observation or near miss and risk-scored on likelihood by severity. Corrective and preventive actions are tracked to closure against the lots involved.
Changeover verification is recorded between allergen-bearing runs, with the allergens before and after and the run and lot it protects, so an allergen question during a recall has a documented answer.
NutraSoft is built specifically for food producers that need to:

Direct answers to what food and beverage manufacturers ask about food safety, HACCP, and compliance software.
Both. NutraSoft is food safety software built into a complete food ERP, so lot traceability, and on the Enterprise plan HACCP plans, quality logs and compliance records, run on the same lot data as your production, inventory, and purchasing. You get a real food safety management system without buying and integrating a separate tool.
Food compliance software keeps the records food safety regulations require: HACCP monitoring, prerequisite programs, supplier approval, traceability and recall evidence. It ties them to production so they can be produced on demand. NutraSoft keeps them on the same records as your inventory and lots, so an FDA, CFIA or SQF request becomes an export rather than a reconstruction.
Yes, in the Quality Control app on the Enterprise plan. It runs your HACCP plan digitally: critical control points, monitoring checks, critical limits, corrective actions, and verification are logged against the lot and time-stamped. Records stay audit-ready for CFIA, FDA, and third-party SQF or BRC reviews instead of living in binders and spreadsheets.
Look for five things. First, lot genealogy forward and back, for recalls and the 24-hour FSMA 204 records request. Second, HACCP and CCP monitoring linked to specific lots. Third, prerequisite programs with enforced gates: pre-op, sanitation and supplier approval. Fourth, deviations and corrective actions tracked to closure. Fifth, label and allergen data generated from the same formula as the batch. Generic MRP tools usually cover the first and stop there.
NutraSoft records the lot code, quantity, date and supplier or customer at receiving, production and shipping. A forward or backward trace resolves in seconds and prints as a PDF or exports to Excel, and on the Enterprise plan mock recalls produce a timed evidence package, so an FDA request is a report, not a fire drill.
Yes. The same records support Canadian (CFIA, SFCR) and US (FDA, FSMA) rules, and the Enterprise Quality Control app scores readiness clause by clause for SFCR and FSMA. For GFSI schemes like SQF and BRCGS, your site adds the clauses from its licensed copy and maps them to the same controls.
Yes. Beyond safety, the Enterprise Quality Control app works as food quality management software: product specifications, incoming and in-process inspections, non-conformance and CAPA tracking, and supplier quality all tie back to the lot, so quality and safety share one source of truth.
Every inventory movement records who made it and when, documents file against the lot, supplier or run, and on Enterprise signed records are sealed against edits. When an inspector or customer audit arrives, you print the lot trace, production sheet or QC dossier instead of assembling paperwork for days.
Yes. NutraSoft starts at $69 CAD per month with no setup fees. Lot traceability and expiry control come with Food Manufacturing Software, and HACCP, CAPA and recalls are in the Enterprise plan's Quality Control app. NutraSoft scales with your business, so you won't need a new system as you grow.
