Specification Management

Specifications play an important part in a food company: products cannot be traded without proper food information. Based on the specifications of your raw materials and the recipe, you prepare a product specification. This can be a complex job, especially if your customer places extensive demands on your specifications.

• We are committed to a personal and professional approach.
• Our specialists help you with knowledge and expertise on labelling.

Drafting and outsourcing

The content of the specifications must at least comply with Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011, but your customers will increasingly ask you to provide more information. Retailers, caterers and wholesalers often want need this for their own information systems. Every customer has his own requirements and other information he needs. The drafting of specifications has become a separate subject. You will find that you need more and more knowledge and time for this.

Our specialists can help you with drafting and managing product specifications. We take all the work out of your hands. There are various possibilities:

• Drafting product specifications based on your raw material specifications and recipe.
• Enter data into product information systems of the retail organisation and wholesalers, such as SIM, Trace One, GS1 and PS in foodservice.
• Completing questionnaires for business to business customers.

The specifications are managed in your own specifications system or are made available on the website of Normec Foodcare through your own login.

Automating product specifications

Normec Foodcare can help you with the automation of product specifications through QA Software. You can manage and track your product specifications online. Imported raw material and recipe data are automatically converted into final product specifications and ingredient declarations. These can be converted into a product specification according to the most recent legislation. Adaptations to raw materials or recipes are immediately implemented in all final product specifications. This ensures a considerable time saving in the specification management.

Linking to information systems

With the imported raw materials and recipes the nutritional values of end products are automatically calculated. With the allergen matrix, you always have an up-to-date overview of the allergens present in an end product. These overviews can be linked to other information systems, for example PS in foodservice. This ensures a considerable time saving. Our specialists can also draw up the specifications in various other systems such as Eclarion, Navision, PeQAsus, Bestmix and Reflex.
