Specification management that connects documents to products
Supplier and product specifications should do more than sit in folders. FoodQA turns specifications into controlled evidence linked to the raw material, product, market and QA decisions that depend on them.
Read and structure incoming specifications
Upload supplier PDFs, Word or Excel files. FoodQA extracts proposed facts, keeps the source location and asks QA to confirm relevant information before it becomes controlled data.
Compare versions automatically
See what changed between v5 and v6 before replacing the current record. Composition, allergens, origin, additive status, quality limits and packaging information can each trigger different downstream reviews.
Know which products are affected
FoodQA traces where a raw material or packaging item is used and highlights product specifications, labels, calculations and customer answers that may need review.
Manage currentness and supplier follow-up
Track expiry dates, missing documents and open supplier questions. The evidence gap stays visible until resolved.
A connected workflow instead of another document silo
Food manufacturers rarely need one more place to store files. The operational value comes from connecting the file to the product, the field inside the file to the QA conclusion, and the conclusion to the downstream work it affects. FoodQA is designed around that relationship. The same confirmed evidence can support a label review today, a customer question tomorrow and an audit request later without creating a second uncontrolled copy.
This also gives QA a clearer handover between product development, purchasing, suppliers and production. Open questions remain visible, ownership is explicit and the reason behind a product decision can be reopened when something changes.
FOODQAFrequently asked questions
Can FoodQA read supplier specifications?
FoodQA can extract proposed facts from supplier documents and keep the source location so QA can confirm the information.
How are versions controlled?
Previous versions remain in history and new versions can be compared before the current record is changed.
Can one supplier change affect several products?
Yes. FoodQA maps the material to the products, labels, calculations and customer outputs that depend on it.
