Revol LIMS delivers automated allergen testing workflows, end-to-end lot traceability, shelf-life and stability study management, and built-in FSMA, HACCP, GFSI, and ISO 22000 compliance — in one platform.
Food and beverage testing laboratories sit at the intersection of public health protection, brand reputation management, and a rapidly expanding global regulatory landscape. Three challenges define this environment:
Revol LIMS maintains a complete allergen risk profile from raw material receipt through production and finished product release — with automated lot-to-lot allergen linkage and rapid forward/backward trace capability in the event of a recall.
Microbiological testing in food and beverage labs demands rigorous QC management from media preparation through pathogen confirmation and HACCP critical limit verification. Revol LIMS automates the complete microbiological workflow.
Revol LIMS automates sampling schedules, tracks every time-point result, and generates study reports aligned to regulatory and customer submission requirements across accelerated and real-time shelf-life programmes.
Revol LIMS consolidates the audit evidence, supplier verification records, and corrective-action documentation required by BRCGS, SQF, IFS, FSSC 22000, and FDA FSMA in a single, inspection-ready platform.
Across food manufacturers, contract testing laboratories, and retail QA teams, the same recurring operational and compliance challenges consistently emerge:
Manual allergen tracking across raw material receipts, production scheduling, and finished product CoAs creates undeclared allergen risk at every handover point — with recall and regulatory consequences that spreadsheets cannot prevent.
Accelerated and real-time shelf-life study results scattered across spreadsheets and email chains — with missed time-point sampling going unnoticed until a product has already launched with an unsupported expiry claim.
Supplier CoC documents, allergen declarations, and incoming inspection test results stored in disconnected systems create raw material quality blindspots that only surface during GFSI audits or recall investigations.
Every SQF, BRCGS, or FSSC 22000 audit cycle triggers a manual scramble to locate, compile, and cross-reference compliance evidence from spreadsheets, binders, and disconnected quality systems.
Manual QC scheduling, paper-based media logs, and disconnected instrument data require technologist time to chase, compile, and validate before results can be released — slowing TAT and increasing transcription error risk.
Different sites running subtly different methods, QC criteria, and documentation practices means GFSI audit outcomes and product quality data are not comparable across the network — creating brand and regulatory risk.
Food and beverage testing laboratories face compliance obligations across product safety regulation, retailer scheme requirements, and international food law simultaneously. Revol LIMS ensures audit-readiness at every level.
| Standard / Regulation | How Revol LIMS Supports Compliance |

| FDA FSMA (21 CFR Part 117) | Hazard analysis, preventive controls, supplier verification, environmental monitoring, and recall traceability workflows aligned to FDA Food Safety Modernisation Act requirements for food manufacturing and testing facilities. |
| HACCP (Codex Alimentarius) | HACCP critical control point monitoring, critical limit configuration, corrective-action logging, and deviation records — providing the documented evidence base required at every HACCP audit and inspection. |
| GFSI (BRCGS / SQF / IFS / FSSC 22000) | Document control, supplier approved vendor list, non-conformance, CAPA, internal audit, and proficiency testing records configured to satisfy evidence requirements across all major GFSI certification schemes. |
| FDA BAM (Bacteriological Analytical Manual) | Configurable microbiological method workflows aligned to FDA BAM methods for total viable count, pathogen detection, yeast and mould, and indicator organism testing. |
| Codex Alimentarius | Analytical method alignment and MRL configuration for pesticide and veterinary drug residue testing against Codex Alimentarius international food standards. |
| EU Food Law (Regulation EC 178/2002) | Traceability, lot linkage, recall scope analysis, and RASFF documentation support for food and feed business operators within the EU regulatory framework. |
| ISO/IEC 17025:2017 | Method validation, measurement uncertainty, equipment calibration, proficiency testing, and document control for food testing laboratories seeking or maintaining ISO 17025 accreditation. |
| ALCOA+ Data Integrity | All analytical data is Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate — with tamper-evident electronic audit trails satisfying regulatory inspectors and certification body auditors across all applicable standards. |
