Great Lakes Foods Enhances Food Safety Compliance

Great Lakes Foods is upgrading its food safety by deploying a solution to manage regulatory and business documentation compliance within its supply chain. 

The Michigan-based company supplies supermarkets and convenience stores throughout the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Wisconsin with wholesale groceries, meat, produce, dairy and frozen, private label, bakery, deli and HBC/general merchandise.

“We are committed to providing our retailer and wholesaler customers with safe, high quality food and have been looking for an automated system to help manage our growing list of FSMA [Food Safety Modernization Act] compliance documentation,” said Jason DuPont, distribution manager.

He said Great Lakes Foods chose the ReposiTrak’s Compliance Management system from Park City Group to collect and manage required documents from upstream suppliers, and to share Great Lakes’ required documentation with downstream customers.

The system is designed to help manage regulatory, financial and brand risk associated with issues of safety in the global food, pharma and dietary supply chains. The platform consists of two systems:  Compliance Management, which receives, stores and shares documentation, and Track & Trace, which identifies product ingredients and their supply chain path in the unfortunate event of a product recall.
