The 100% traceability imperative Every day, Seachill is responsible for processing and packing thousands of product units, including its product brand “The Saucy Fish Company”, and each has very specific label data requirements. As for all fish and seafood processors, Seachill has to comply with both legislative requirements for traceability information and the latest Fish Labelling Regulations that specify the information that needs to be declared on retail packs. Angela Simpson, Technical Systems Manager at Seachill, explained its importance to the business: “100% traceability is essential in order to meet requirements set by retailers, the government and our affiliations to best practice schemes. Failure to ensure accurate label data can be devastating to a business and may ultimately lead to an emergency product recall, fines, damaged customer relationships and reputation damage through press coverage.”
