Central Grocers Adopts New Food Safety Platform

Central Grocers, also known as Centrella, has deployed a new platform to manage its food safety-related risk.

The wholesaler, which supplies more than 550 independent grocers in Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, adopted the ReposiTrak platform that maintains document compliance and identifies the supply chain path taken by a product in the event of a product recall.

“The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) regulations will require us to both manage and store thousands of vendor documents,” said Centrella President and CEO Ken Nemeth, who chose the solution for its automated review of documents. “The dashboards and alerts for missing, inaccurate, or expired documents will enable one person to manage the compliance of our FSMA-required documentation,” he said.

Powered by Park City Group’s technology, the ReposiTrak platform helps manage regulatory, financial and brand risk associated with issues of food safety in the global food supply chain.

“Similar to Sarbanes-Oxley, more and more executives are now realizing they are personally responsible for their supply chain’s compliance with FSMA, which begins finalization in August and October of this year,” said Randall K. Fields, chairman and CEO of Park City Group.
