Food and Beverage: Safety, Traceability, and Process Reliability on One Quality System
Food and beverage manufacturing operates under a regulatory regime where a single contamination event can trigger a national recall and a brand-defining moment. TMG implements PeakAvenue's eQMS, HACCP-aligned FMEA, Sologic root-cause analysis, and process-reliability tooling for food and beverage manufacturers, configured for FSSC 22000, BRCGS, FSMA, and the Codex Alimentarius framework that anchors the international trade in food.
Built for every framework your audits, customers, and regulators apply
The methodology we deliver is configured against the working set of standards that govern food and beverage quality, safety, traceability, and process reliability across the international supply chain.
The challenges we address
Allergen management runs on parallel paperwork
Allergen control on shared production lines is one of the most consequential food-safety obligations and one of the most common audit findings. Without integration between the allergen matrix, the production schedule, the changeover procedure, and the cleaning verification, the system relies on manual reconciliation that breaks down under production pressure.
FSMA Section 204 traceability demands data the company does not have
The FSMA traceability rule requires end-to-end Critical Tracking Event records for food traceability list items. Most operators discover, on first compliance review, that the required data is partially captured, partially in different systems, and partially not captured at all. The remediation is structural, not cosmetic.
Cold chain failure modes hide between assets and procedures
Cold-chain integrity depends on refrigeration equipment reliability, the procedural discipline of receipt and dispatch, and the data integrity of the temperature monitoring trail. A failure in any one element compromises the whole, and the root-cause analysis often reaches across all three domains.
OEE pressure conflicts with food-safety changeover discipline
Maximising OEE on a packaging line and executing the full allergen-changeover cleanability validation are not aligned objectives in the short term. Without a system that captures both in the same operating discipline, the trade-off is made implicitly by operators under pressure, and the wrong trade-off is the one that becomes a recall.
A food-safety quality system that also delivers OEE
TMG configures the PeakAvenue platform so that HACCP, allergen management, recall procedure, supplier quality, and process-reliability KPIs live on a single data model. The food-safety obligation and the operational-efficiency objective converge rather than compete.
HACCP plans integrated with FMEA on a single platform
TMG implements HACCP as a structured FMEA exercise inside the PeakAvenue platform, with hazard analysis, critical-control-point identification, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, and verification all maintained on a connected data model. The HACCP plan and the FMEA reference the same hazards, the same controls, and the same verification evidence.
Allergen management and recall readiness on the eQMS
The allergen matrix, changeover procedures, cleanability validation records, and recall procedures live on the same eQMS that runs the broader food-safety programme. The audit trail is continuous; the recall readiness is a query, not a forensic exercise; and the allergen control discipline is operationally executable rather than aspirationally documented.
FSMA Section 204 traceability built into the operating data flow
Critical Tracking Events are captured at receipt, processing, packing, and shipping in the same systems the operation uses for production data. The FDA Food Traceability List items carry the lot-level traceability the rule requires without parallel record-keeping, and the records are queryable on the regulatory timeline.
Process reliability and Weibull life-data analysis on production assets
TMG applies Weibull life-data analysis to refrigeration compressors, packaging-line components, fillers, and the high-cycle equipment that drives changeover frequency. The reliability picture feeds the maintenance schedule, the OEE programme, and the cold-chain assurance case.
Sologic root-cause analysis for incidents, deviations, and customer complaints
When a deviation, a customer complaint, or a near-miss occurs, the Sologic Causelink methodology provides structured cause-and-effect analysis that survives audit scrutiny. The CAPA actions are tracked against the source incident, and the closure evidence is part of the eQMS rather than living in a parallel spreadsheet.
What food and beverage sites have realised
The descriptors below characterise the typical outputs of a TMG food and beverage engagement. Depth in any given engagement scales with the size of the operation, the maturity of the existing reliability and quality programme, and the regulatory exposure of the operator.
Engage TMG for your Food and Beverage programme
The Mantua Group implements PeakAvenue's eQMS, FMEA, supply-chain, and process-reliability platform for food and beverage manufacturers operating under FSSC 22000, BRCGS, SQF, ISO 22000, and FSMA. We bring the analytical rigour, the regulatory familiarity, and the implementation discipline that turns a software platform into a working food-safety system.
