Food & Beverage
AI for food and beverage quality and food safety records
Your food safety plan is only as good as the records that prove you executed it. Litewave reads CCP logs, sanitation records, production sheets and supplier certificates, checks them against your plan and your scheme requirements, and surfaces the gaps before your auditor does.
The rulebook your site is audited against
FSMA and preventive controls
- 21 CFR Part 117, CGMP and hazard analysis and risk-based preventive controls for human food
- Subpart C: the food safety plan, hazard analysis, process, allergen, sanitation and supply-chain controls
- Monitoring, corrective actions, verification and validation records under Subpart C
- Subpart F records requirements and Subpart G supply-chain program
- A Preventive Controls Qualified Individual must prepare or oversee the plan, and the plan is reanalyzed at least every three years or on significant change
Where HACCP is mandatory by rule
- 21 CFR Part 123 for seafood
- 21 CFR Part 120 for juice
- 9 CFR Part 417 for USDA-FSIS regulated meat and poultry establishments
- 21 CFR Part 507 for animal food
Imports and traceability
- FSVP under 21 CFR Part 1 Subpart L for importers
- FSMA Section 204 food traceability, requiring Key Data Elements at Critical Tracking Events for foods on the Food Traceability List
- Traceability records assembled from the production records you already keep, rather than as a separate data project
Commercial audit schemes
- GFSI benchmarked schemes that drive most commercial audits: SQF, BRCGS Food Safety, FSSC 22000 and IFS
- ISO 22000 as the underlying management system standard
- Customer-specific quality requirements, which often exceed the regulation
- Certification records for organic, kosher, halal and non-GMO programs
The documents this actually touches
HACCP and food safety plans with the hazard analysis. CCP monitoring records. Preventive control monitoring and verification records. Corrective action records. Sanitation and SSOP records with pre-operational inspection. Allergen control and changeover records.
Environmental monitoring results and swab logs. Metal detection and X-ray verification logs. CIP records. Cook, cool, chill and hot-hold temperature logs. Thermometer and scale calibration. Production and batching sheets. Weight control and net content records. Label and date-coding verification.
Supplier approval files and CoAs. FSVP records. Receiving and rejection logs. Traceability and mass balance records. Mock recall exercises. Complaint records. Hold and release records. Pest control reports. Water and ice testing. Training records.
What Litewave checks here
Critical control points
- Every CCP monitoring record present for every production run, with no gaps and no back-filled entries
- Every reading inside its critical limit
- Every critical limit deviation has a matching corrective action, product disposition and root cause, closed before release
- Cook, cool and chill records meet the time and temperature requirements in the plan, including the cooling curve rather than just the endpoint
Preventive controls
- Metal detection and other verification performed at the defined frequency, with test pieces at specified sensitivities and rejection confirmed
- Sanitation and pre-operational records complete for every line and every changeover
- Allergen changeover verification, rework handling, and the label running on the line matching the formula that ran
- Environmental monitoring sampled to plan by zone, with presumptive positives escalated and closed with vector analysis
Supply chain
- Ingredient and packaging CoAs checked against your incoming specification
- Approved supplier status current for this material and this receiving site
- FSVP records complete for imported ingredients
- Supplier performance trended across lots rather than assessed once a year
Documentation quality
- Signatures and dates present, corrections made properly, records legible and contemporaneous
- Net content and weight control records complete and compliant
- Forward and backward trace assembled from the records themselves, with mass balance reconciled
- Which is, in practice, most of what a scheme auditor actually writes you up for
The three weeks before an audit should not be a discovery exercise
For most plants, the run-up to an SQF or BRCGS audit is when they find out what their records actually say. Someone pulls a quarter of CCP logs, finds the gaps, and back-fills the story.
Reading every record as it is created makes audit readiness a continuous state rather than an event, and it moves the finding from the auditor to you.

Where our evidence comes from
Litewave was built in pharmaceutical manufacturing, which is the strictest records regime in regulated industry. At the world’s largest sulfamethoxazole producer, batch disposition time fell by 85% across 100 to 150 page paper batch records, with no eBPR migration and no SOP changes.
That matters for your site because the artifacts are structurally the same as yours: a master record defining what should happen, an executed record saying what did, in-process checks, supplier certificates, deviations, and a release decision somebody has to sign and defend. The engine that reconciles a 150 page executed record against a master record and a specification does not care what the product is. What changes is the rulebook it checks against, and that is configuration.
Your HACCP monitoring log or production record checks are configured against your specifications and your governing standard, by the team that built the pharmaceutical deployments.
Bring one real record
A HACCP monitoring log or production record, or a stack of supplier certificates. Something you actually execute, not a sample.
We run a scoped evaluation
We configure the checks against your specification and your governing standard, run them on your records, and show you every finding with the source page cited.
You compare against your own reviewer
Your team reviews the same records the way they always do. You see where we agree, where we disagree, and where we found something they did not. Then you decide.
Questions we get asked
What do we get from working with Litewave early?
Direct access to the team that built the pharmaceutical deployments, and checks configured against your plan rather than a generic template.
Do you understand food safety plans, or just GMP?
The checks are configured with your team, against your plan and your scheme. What transfers from pharma is the engine that reads records and reconciles them against a governing document, which is the hard part. Your hazard analysis is specific to your process, which is exactly why we configure against it rather than ship a template.
Our records are paper on the line and spreadsheets in the office.
That is the normal starting state and the one our reference deployment runs on. Litewave operates over paper and scanned records without requiring you to change how the floor records anything.
