Traceability & the APPCC logbook, built into your POS

The records a Sanidad inspector asks for — ingredient batches and expiry, in-house production traceability, and the daily cuaderno de autocontrol — without a paper folder or a second app.

What the law expects

EU Regulation 178/2002 requires food businesses to trace every ingredient 'one step back and one step forward' — which supplier batch came in, and where it went. Regulation 852/2004 adds APPCC (the Spanish HACCP): a documented self-control system with temperature, cleaning and reception records and corrective actions. brasio turns both into a few taps on the till you already use.

Three parts, each optional

Ingredient lots & expiry

Receive larder ingredients with their supplier batch number and use-by / best-before date. Stock is tracked per lot and drawn down first-expiry-first-out, with expiry alerts and printable date labels.

Production batches

Turn raw lots into something new — burger patties from this mince and these buns. A production run consumes the input lots and mints a new traceable batch with its own number, prep date and a computed use-by. Any batch traces back to every input lot, and a supplier recall surfaces every batch a bad lot touched.

APPCC logbook

Record fridge and freezer temperatures, cleaning sign-offs and delivery checks against a per-shift or periodic schedule. A failed check forces a corrective-action note, and the whole cuaderno de autocontrol exports as a PDF for the inspector.

The cuaderno an inspector actually reads

Every check, temperature, batch and disposal is an immutable, hash-chained record. When Sanidad turns up, you export the cuaderno de autocontrol for any date range — pass/fail, who signed off, and the corrective action taken — as a PDF or CSV. It's produced in Spanish even when your team runs the app in English.

Switched on per venue

A café that only needs fridge temperatures turns on the logbook and nothing else. A burger joint turns on lot tracking and production batches too. Each part is an independent toggle, so staff only ever see the checks your venue actually runs.

Questions

Do I need separate software for APPCC?
No. The logbook, ingredient traceability and production batches are all built into brasio and run on the same till. There's no paper folder and no second subscription.
Is the inspector export in Spanish?
Yes — the cuaderno de autocontrol PDF and CSV are always in Spanish, because that's what a Spanish inspector reads, even if your staff use the app in English.
Can I use just the temperature log?
Yes. Each part is optional and switched on per venue. Turn on only the APPCC logbook and add the control points you need (e.g. two fridges and a weekly clean).
How does a recall work?
From any ingredient lot, brasio shows every production batch it fed — recursively — and when those batches were in service. So a contaminated mince lot immediately surfaces every patty batch that used it.
