FSAI Agri-Food Traceability

Overview

Draft Recall and Withdrawal procedures for meat and dairy in Ireland (FSAI), with One-Step-Back/Forward traceability and validation of the 14 allergens list against Irish S.I. No. 489/2014 font and highlighting requirements. The skill references FSAI Guidance Note 10 (Product Recall and Traceability), DAFM for exports, and includes a validation tool for allergen labelling.

Example

You: We need a Recall and Withdrawal procedure for our dairy export business. We ship to the UK and EU and need to link batch codes to suppliers and customers.

Agent: I’ll draft a procedure aligned with FSAI and Irish traceability rules. (Produces a procedure document with: trigger criteria for withdrawal vs recall; One-Step-Back and One-Step-Forward record-keeping; roles for incident lead, FSAI and DAFM liaison, communications; containment, FSAI notification (including out-of-hours emergency number), customer notification, documentation and corrective action; and export-specific steps for DAFM and certificate handling.)

Excerpt of a generated procedure

The agent produces a structured procedure document. Below is a condensed example of the traceability and notification sections:

## Traceability (One-Step-Back / One-Step-Forward)

- Batch/lot codes must link to:
  - **One-Step-Back:** Supplier name, address, product nature, transaction date.
  - **One-Step-Forward:** Customer name, address, product, dispatch date.
- For animal-origin (dairy): maintain daily records — product description, quantities, batch/lot refs, dispatch dates. Records held by [role]; retrieval within 4 hours.

## FSAI and DAFM notification

- Complete FSAI Food Incident Notification Form (hazard, product/batch/quantities, traceability, actions). Mon–Fri 9am–5pm; emergencies: +353 (0)1 685 6555.
- For export: notify DAFM; withdraw or correct export certificates as required.

Allergen labelling validation

The skill includes the allergen_labelling_sync tool. Run it on a file containing label copy or an ingredients list; it checks that the 14 EU allergens are declared and emphasised (font, style, or background) per S.I. No. 489/2014 and EU 1169/2011, and reports any missing or unhighlighted allergen names.

Getting Started

Add your source materials (existing procedures, label copy, or specs) to the project workspace, then activate the FSAI Agri-Food Traceability skill. The agent will draft or update Recall and Withdrawal procedures and validate allergen labelling as needed.
