Food Manufacturing Conductor™ (Food MC) is Tamlin's proprietary process control system designed for small to mid-size food manufacturers. Food MC was designed on the production floor by people who know manufacturing. Its simplified and easy to use interface keeps your people productive while getting you the information you need to realize your production goals.

FDA Actions on New Bioterrorism Legislation: December 9, 2004. The events of September 11, 2001 highlighted the need to enhance the security of the U.S. Food Supply. Congress responded by passing the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. Section 306 specifically applies to companies who manufacture or process food. On December 9, 2004, the FDA published the final rule implementing Section 306 of the Bioterrorism Act. For more information see the FDA's Fact Sheet: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/fsbtac23.html

NOTE: Food MC exceeds the U.S. government traceability requirements. Labor intensive tracking reports that used to take hours or even days are completed in minutes.
