Food & Beverage Compliance Requirements

Millions of consumers rely on the food industry to ensure they access safe and nutritious products. Accordingly, food manufacturers are responsible for upholding their products' highest health and safety standards. A visitor management system enables manufacturers to adhere to employee and food safety compliance regulations.

Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA)

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) enforces proactive measures to prevent foodborne illnesses, requiring strict safety practices, detailed records, and contamination prevention plans across the U.S. food supply chain. 

VisitorOS supports FSMA compliance by securing visitor and contractor data, integrating with access control, and automating comprehensive reports aiding in FSMA audits and compliance.

  • Include pre-screening questions related to health and safety, ensuring individuals not meeting specific criteria are denied entry
  • Deny access to unauthorized persons by screening visitors and contractors against watchlists and/or deny lists
  • Track training records for visitors to ensure individuals entering the facility have received the necessary training to meet FSMA requirements
  • Quickly and easily access digital logs to show the sign in and sign out times for each visitor, simplifying FSMA compliance during regulatory audits

Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)

Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) establishes quality standards for food production, ensuring consistent processes through documentation, training, material control, and testing. GMP compliance is vital for product safety, effectiveness, and meeting global quality standards.

VisitorOS supports GMP compliance by managing and documenting visitor and contractor compliance with GMP protocols through:

  • Managing and restricting visitor access to sensitive production areas.
  • Capturing digital signatures on GMP agreements from visitors and contractors.
  • Maintaining comprehensive digital logs of all visitor activity to meet GMP’s stringent record-keeping requirements.
  • Ensure visitors receive necessary induction training on GMP practices as part of their sign-in process.

Safe Quality Food (SQF) Certification

Safe Quality Food (SQF) is a globally recognized certification ensuring food safety and quality throughout the supply chain. Overseen by the SQF Institute, it aligns with Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standards, promoting worldwide consistency in food safety practices.

VisitorOS can significantly support an organization aiming for an SQF certification by streamlining processes that can ensure compliance with strict food safety standards, such as:

  • Automating and digitizing visitor logs, providing real-time, and accurate records that are easily accessible for audits to support the SQF requirement for maintaining traceability and accountability across the supply chain.
  • Pre-authorizing visitors and restricting access with watchlists, deny lists, and color-coded badges to support SQF requirements to limit visitor access and prevent contamination in production zones.
  • Integrate health screening tools within the visitor sign-in process and track compliance with site-specific requirements when visitors check-in, such as wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) or completing safety training to ensure hygiene standards are upheld.

ISO 22000 (Food Safety Management Systems)

ISO 22000 is a food safety management system standard developed and overseen by the International Organization of Standardization. Its focus is on food safety risks across the supply chain. Facilities under ISO 22000 are expected to control access to areas where food is handled or processed. This can involve managing visitors through sign-ins, escort requirements, or hygiene protocols. 

VisitorOS can support facilities seeking an ISO 22000 certification by streamlining visitor management processes to ensure compliance, such as:

  • Pre-authorizing visitors and restricting access with watchlists, deny lists, and color-coded badges to support ISO 22000 requirements to limit visitor access and prevent contamination in production zones.
  • Integrate health screening and safety training tools into the visitor sign-in process, tracking compliance with site-specific requirements when visitors check in. This includes ensuring that safety training is completed to uphold hygiene standards.

Canadian Controlled Goods Program (CGP)

For organizations in Canada that examine, possess, or transfer controlled goods and sensitive technical data, the CGP ensures that items with military or national security significance are securely managed and accessible only to authorized personnel, thereby protecting Canada’s national security. 
VisitorOS helps ease compliance with CGP for organizations through the following:

  • Facilitating the signing of mandatory security and confidentiality agreements before granting access, ensuring visitors are legally bound to adhere to CGP regulations. 
  • Verifying the identity of visitors with digital ID/passport scanning.
  • Automatically screening visitors against security watchlists and restricted party lists to prevent unauthorized access. 
  • Maintaining comprehensive digital logs of all visitor activity—including entry and exit times, purpose of visit, and areas accessed—to provide an essential audit trail for CGP compliance.
