Solution
Every batch, traced from the moment it arrives to the moment it's served.
Blaze Trace links every delivery to the recipes, production runs and service points it feeds into — across one kitchen or many. When a supplier issues a recall, you know exactly which batches, which dishes, and which sites are affected, in minutes, not a multi-day audit.
Before / after
When a supplier recalls a batch, you're searching scattered delivery notes and spreadsheets to work out which dishes, which sites, and which service dates might be affected.
Blaze Trace already knows. It surfaces the exact batches, recipes, sites and dates in minutes — before the recall becomes a scramble.
Why this feature matters
This feature is built directly into the CalcMenu recipe and menu database. The same data serves kitchen, service, and administration—no re-entry, no paper versions.

What it gives you
Traceability that holds up across sites
A single ingredient batch can move through dozens of recipes and multiple sites before it's served. Blaze Trace tracks that whole path — not just supplier to kitchen, but kitchen to every dish, site and service date it touched.
A targeted recall, not a blanket one
When a supplier flags a contaminated batch, you get the exact list of affected dishes, sites and service dates — not every product that might contain that ingredient. You act on what's actually affected, and nothing else.
Built for multi-site and cross-border operations
Connects to European traceability systems (TRACES, EUDR) where required, and is built to hold up across multiple sites, suppliers and regulatory regimes — not just a single kitchen answering to one authority.
How it works
Scan the batch on receipt
Every delivery is logged with supplier, batch number, shelf-life and certificates. The data is available to every site and every production run using it.
Link the batch to production runs
CalcMenu automatically calculates which batches go into each recipe, at every site. Traceability builds itself with no extra work.
Run a recall in minutes, not days
Enter a suspect batch number and get the list of affected products, sites, customers and service dates — instantly, across the whole operation. Export the file for the authority or customer.
For which sectors
Built for operations where a single ingredient batch can end up in dozens of dishes across multiple sites — and where finding out which ones, fast, is the difference between a contained recall and a crisis.
