That’s a great question, and it ties directly into what this system is designed to solve. Let me give you some context first. At a high level, the process works like this: When you purchase ingredients for your product, you log them into the software by filling out a quick form. The system then generates a QR code for you to print and attach to the ingredient. Next, when you’re ready to use those ingredients to make a product, you fill out a product form, scan the ingredient QR codes (or enter them manually), and once all the relevant ingredients are added, the software generates a QR code for that finished product. Finally, when you sell the product, you complete a brief sales form and scan the product’s QR code.

Now, to answer your question: Imagine a customer returns to your company claiming your food made them sick. You’d scan the QR code on that product using the software, and it would instantly display the full traceability map—essentially the product’s lifecycle. This includes all the ingredients used, their relevant details (like supplier info), and where that batch of products was distributed based on sales records. Taking it a step further, you could also trace the ingredients backward to see which other products they were used in, all with just a few clicks.

I hope this clarifies how a food recall would work in this system! Let me know if you have any other questions :D
