Supplier TraceabilityGeneral Food Regulations 2004

Traceable within 4 hours — guaranteed

Log every delivery with supplier details, items, quantities and batch numbers. Searchable audit trail that satisfies General Food Regulations 2004 traceability requirements.

What it is

The General Food Regulations 2004 require that all food businesses be able to identify the origin of every food ingredient within 4 hours of an EHO request. Yumee's delivery log captures all legally required traceability information on every delivery — supplier, items, quantities, batch numbers and timestamps — and makes it searchable instantly.

How it works

1

Select your supplier

Choose from your approved supplier list (Standard+) or enter a supplier name (Basic). Supplier contact details are pre-filled.

2

Log delivery items

Add items received with quantities, units and batch numbers where available.

3

Record delivery condition

Mark the delivery as good, damaged or rejected. Rejected deliveries auto-create a corrective action.

4

Optional temperature check

Log the delivery temperature for chilled/frozen goods. Out-of-range readings are flagged automatically.

5

E-signature and submit

Receiver signs off with their digital signature. The delivery record is timestamped and permanently stored.

Why it matters

If a food safety incident occurs — an allergen reaction, food poisoning or product recall — the first question is always 'where did this ingredient come from?'. Without a complete delivery log, businesses cannot answer this question. The General Food Regulations 2004 make this a legal requirement, and EHOs check it on every inspection.
